The Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning has requested that the City of Ljubljana re-examine the environmental impact assessment for the C0 canal project, which involves constructing a concrete embankment. Minister Polona Rifelj expects the city to initiate a legal dispute over this matter and plans to propose to the government that it withdraws the request for a review of the procedure before the Constitutional Court. The ministry had previously rejected the city’s request to revoke the agency’s decision requiring an environmental impact assessment. Rifelj emphasized that the process has been delayed for years, with courts taking time to determine whether such assessments are necessary. She stressed that clean drinking water is a priority and that the debate over environmental assessments is unnecessary if there are no issues. The C0 canal is part of a larger municipal wastewater management project worth €135.6 million, with significant EU funding. Failure to complete the project by February next year could result in the European Commission demanding repayment of funds.

The Slovenian Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning has rejected the request by Ljubljana City Council to overturn a decision by the Agency for the Environment, which stated that an environmental impact assessment was required for part of the C0 canal project. Minister Polona Rifelj indicated that the city could challenge this decision in administrative court but emphasized her desire to avoid prolonged legal processes. She plans to recommend to the government that the authority for state legal aid be revoked and that the requirement for a review by the Supreme Court be abandoned. The C0 canal is part of a larger wastewater management project funded largely by European Union funds, with strict deadlines set by the EU. Failure to meet these deadlines could result in the return of improperly received EU funds.

The Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning has requested that the City of Ljubljana re-examine the environmental impact assessment (EIA) for the C0 channel project, which involves constructing a concrete embankment along the canal. Minister Polona Rifelj expects the city to initiate a legal dispute over this decision and plans to propose withdrawing the request for a review before the Constitutional Court. The ministry had previously rejected the city’s appeal to revoke the agency’s decision requiring an EIA for the construction. Rifelj emphasized the importance of clean drinking water for citizens and stated that delays in the process have caused significant setbacks, with multiple years spent resolving whether an EIA was necessary. The project, part of a larger wastewater management initiative, faces tight deadlines due to European funding conditions, with potential financial penalties if completed late.
