Towards a comprehensive Slovenian development effort

As a small nation at the crossroads between Central Europe, the Mediterranean and the Western Balkans, Slovenia places high importance on the multilateral system and uses it to promote development-relevant global public policies. Slovenia engages constructively at the global level and is willing to play an active role in advancing global development. Within the European Union it is advocating in particular for sustainable development in the Western Balkan region and for sharing transition experience with European Union accession countries. In finalising its national development strategy, the government has an opportunity to model an approach to sustainable development which integrates domestic and international dimensions.
