AI rules in Slovenia
EU rules apply directly, but Slovenia decides who supervises, how fines are imposed and adds its own rules — for media, personal data, cybersecurity and employment. Here is the Slovenian layer, with contacts and support.
In practice: who do I ask?
AKOS — the single point of contact for the AI Act.
Information Commissioner (IP).
Bank of Slovenia or the Insurance Supervision Agency.
Market Inspectorate.
SI-CERT and the Government Information Security Office (URSIV).
DIH Slovenia and EDIHs, Slovenian AI Factory (SLAIF), Business Portal.
