Basic and sector-related criteria used for identifying critical infrastructure of national importance in the Republic of Slovenia

The criteria used for identifying critical infrastructure of national importance in the Republic ofSlovenia derive from the definition of critical infrastructure of national importance in the Republic of Slovenia adopted by the Government of the Republic of Slovenia on 19 April 2010 on the proposal of the Interministerial coordination group for the coordination of preparations for the protection of critical infrastructure in the Republic of Slovenia. The Government of the Republic of Slovenia has ordered the ministries and government offices to take the definition of critical infrastructure of national importance in the Republic of Slovenia in account in the preparation of regulations, implementation of preparations and other activities for the protection of critical infrastructure.

7. Critical infrastructure sector providing environment protection;
8. Critical infrastructure sector providing information and communication support.
