Prime Minister Janša, during a visit to southeastern Slovenia, stated: "Today, we are fulfilling a pre-election promise that this part of Slovenia will not be forgotten."

The Slovenian government conducted a working visit to Southeast Slovenia on November 4, meeting with local officials, businesses, and institutions to address regional development challenges. Prime Minister Janez Janša stated via social media that the trip fulfills a pre-election promise to ensure the region, comprising Dolenjska, Bela Krajina, and the Kočevje-Ribnica area, is not neglected. During the visit, the cabinet reviewed approximately 30 to 40 open issues, with infrastructure accounting for roughly 40 percent of these concerns and environment and spatial planning making up another 30 percent. Although the region has low unemployment and strong industry, significant disparities exist among its 21 municipalities, particularly regarding water access and road connectivity in sparsely populated areas. Janša advocated for serious regionalization through a two-thirds parliamentary majority, arguing that current problems exceed municipal capacities but are too small for national-level solutions. The government highlighted plans for 64 road projects worth 817.4 million euros and additional funding for state roads over the next two years.

Janša described the establishment of the University of Novo mesto as one of the most important milestones for the region

Prime Minister Janez Janša attended the inauguration ceremony for the University of Novo mesto during a regional government visit, describing the event as a major developmental milestone for the region. He emphasized that knowledge and education serve as great equalizers that allow individuals to overcome environmental disadvantages, while noting that artificial intelligence currently acts as a tool that amplifies existing inequalities rather than reducing them. Janša highlighted that the region lags behind the national average in higher education despite economic success, making the new university crucial for future growth. He credited his third government with taking a significant step toward this goal in August 2021 by adopting the intention to establish the institution. The Prime Minister expressed confidence that the university will expand over time, contributing to improved quality of life and development in southeastern Slovenia.
