  • Slovenia’s most vulnerable population groups and businesses that have been hit hard by high gas and electricity prices will receive emergency cost-of-living aid.
  • As part of a €41 million package for the most vulnerable groups, some 110,000 individuals at high risk – recipients of welfare payments, poor pensioners and the disabled – will be eligible for a one-off payment of €200.
  • The second aid package, worth €40 million, is for companies that need help paying higher electricity and gas costs.
