EU Projects
Municipality of Velenje is very active across the
borders of our country, since in the past we established cooperation with
comparable cities across Europe. When Slovenia
joined the European Union, Municipality of Velenje was one of the first
municipalities organized and ready for the absorption of European funds. We
have established "Project group for EU projects". Since 2004 we have
implemented numerous EU co-financed projects and look towards continuous success
in the future. Most of the implemented projects were on the level of
cross-border and territorial cooperation (Central and South-east Europe).
Through EU
projects we are trying to bring good practices from other cities into our
environment, as well as to set a European example of good practice in the
fields of rehabilitation of the environment and diminishing of negative
consequences of mining. The most attention is being paid to business,
education, environmental protection, promoting energy efficiency promotion, culture,
tourism, youth, etc...
Many successful
investment projects, co-financed through ERDF and ESF programmes, were as well
implemented in this period of time, namely conservation of cultural heritage,
facilitation of the development of entrepreneurship, tourism infrastructure,
youth education and environment protection.
