International Cooperation Department
For the purpose of utilising funds from the Cohesion Fund, the Department cooperated in 2007 with
competent Slovene ministries and EU institutions in implementing procedures for the utilisation of funds,
and organised and conducted the implementation of required tasks by other divisions of the Company
participating in the activities of the Cohesion Fund. The project involving the construction of the motorway
section Smednik — Krška vas was successfully completed after obtaining approval of the final report, and
activities were continued on the project for the construction of the Vrba — PeraËica motorway section.
In line with the Operational Programme for the development of environmental and traffic infrastructure,
procedures were carried out for the purpose of utilising European cohesion policy funds for 4 motorway
projects included in the scheme of co-financing from the Cohesion Fund in the programme period 2007-
2013.
In addition to funds from the Cohesion Fund, the Company also received funds in 2007 from the European
Fund for Regional Development in the form of technical assistance in the preparation of certain studies
for the third development axis, as well as funds from the TEN-T budget to be used for the preparation of
specific project and spatial documents for the road section Slivnica — Draženci — Gruškovje.
Again in 2007, the Company actively participated in various international projects. Several meetings
were organised in connection with the TEMPO-CONNECT projects, the EASYWAY program, and the
PROMET project. The Company continued to participate in the MEDIA project for the establishment of
interoperability of toll collection systems in the alpine region, and in the RANKERS traffic safety project.
