The project was previously criticized by the opposition SDS during the previous mandate, which was led by former Digital Transformation Minister Emilija Stojmenova Duh from the Freedom Movement. Under her leadership, the ministry partnered with the Slovenian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (OZS) to establish a network of 222 digi info points aimed at providing digital services assistance. However, after just four months of operation, over 60 points were shut down due to low usage, with only 15,000 visits recorded across all locations. Critics accused the project of misusing public funds and called for more precise goals. Despite this, the ministry claimed they had met all objectives and signed a new contract for 2025 with reduced funding for 166 locations. The current ministry now plans to restart the project.

Maribor24IndependentCenterFactual 92Objective 889 days agoThe article discusses a project initiated by former Digital Transformation Minister Emilija Stojmenova Duh (from the Freedom Movement party) several years ago, which was initially strongly criticized by the opposition SDS. The project involved setting up a network of 222 service points across Slovenia in collaboration with the Chamber of Skilled Crafts and Entrepreneurs, funded with nearly €6.5 million. However, after just four months, only 15,000 people visited all locations combined, leading to the closure of a quarter of them. Despite this, the ministry under Stojmenova Duh later concluded that the project’s goals had been achieved and signed a new contract worth almost €3.6 million for 166 locations for 2025. The project officially ended last November. At the time, SDS included it among their main criticisms in two parliamentary questions against Stojmenova Duh, comparing it to a controversial purchase of 13,000 laptops and accusing it of inefficient spending of taxpayers’ money. Now, eight months later, the ministry, led by an SDS minister, has changed its stance, stating the project met its objectives. Analysis of visits between December 2024 and November 2025 showed higher use

The project, which provided assistance with digital public services, was previously initiated by the Ministry of Digital Transformation under Emilija Stojmenova Duh. During her mandate, the SDS, then in opposition, strongly criticized the project, calling it inefficient and wasteful, comparing it to a costly purchase of laptops. After the ministry was dissolved in June 2023, its responsibilities were transferred to the current ministry. Despite claims that the project met its goals, the new ministry has decided against continuation due to lack of budget and planning.
