Slovenia: Learning in (Self-)Governance in the Conditions of Europeanisation Building Bridges Paper Series
Slovenians believe that they mostly benefit in terms of mobility (no/less border controls), cheaper mobile calls and improved consumer rights. In opposition to these concrete EU-membership related benefits, however, the generally positive assessment of the EU dropped immensely following the European economic and financial crisis.
The Slovenian debate on the EU can broadly be summarised in two ways: the complementarity between deepening and widening the EU; and the need to strive for policies that serve the society (economic growth etc.) and citizens (for instance reinforce the EMU’s social dimension).
Slovenia supports the development of common EU curricula in primary school, but also for other education paths, such as lifelong learning. The country also supports high standards of food safety, an EU-wide universal access to public health, measures favourable to small and medium size enterprises, and the enlargement to the Western Balkans.
