NGO Funding Concerns Raised in Slovenia to Council of Europe
What happened
The presidents of the Conference of INGOs sent a letter to the Permanent Representative of Slovenia to the Council of Europe expressing concerns over recent changes to state funding for NGOs. They specifically cited the decision to redirect the dedicated revenue of the NGO Development Fund to other causes without providing a replacement source of funding. The letter called on the Slovenian Government and National Assembly to restore a predictable and sustainable framework for public support to civil society.

Why it matters
The concerns highlight a potential instability in the public funding framework for civil society organizations in Slovenia. The call for guaranteed financing of existing contracts and meaningful consultation suggests a regulatory challenge regarding how public funds support non-profit operations.
