Administrative units in Slovenia may open until 7 p.m. twice a week

Slovenia's Minister of Public Administration, Franci Matoz, has expressed confidence that administrative units across the country can successfully adapt to proposed extended operating hours. The suggestion is for these units to remain open until 7 p.m. on two days each week, a move aimed at improving public access to services.

Matoz indicated that the transition would likely involve a shift in employee work schedules, with staff beginning their shifts later in the day. This adjustment, he believes, would allow for the extended hours without undue burden on the workforce. The ministry anticipates that administrative units will encounter no significant difficulties in implementing such a change.

The proposal aims to enhance the accessibility of administrative services for citizens, potentially accommodating those who work standard business hours. By extending the operating times, the government seeks to provide greater flexibility for individuals needing to conduct official business at these units.
