Slovenia is a strategic location for business opportunities in Western Balkans and its traditional trade with Europe is expanded by trading links with other continents. The country’s central position is highly important to investors wishing to locate close to customers concentrated in Europe. Advanced transport and communications networks provide Slovenia-based companies with an edge in serving the markets quickly and effectively. Slovenia is confident of its international competitiveness despite the economic slowdown after a sustained period of steady economic growth, attributable largely to a highly educated and competitive workforce. Its people have always demonstrated innovative approach to problems and the ability to think outside the box. Slovenia’s culture of innovation coupled with the readiness to embrace new ideas, has earned it a reputation as a productive, dynamic and forward-thinking investment destination. Slovenia is well placed to capitalize on growth in the countries in its vicinity and their membership of the EU in the near future. It already has traditionally strong trade links with them meaning that Slovenia’s geographic location now represents a significant asset. Slovenia has one of the most transparent and efficient regulatory environments in the world. Through proactive reforms, the Slovenian Government has shown a strong commitment to providing businesses with the right conditions for growth and investment. The laws effective in 2013 put in place structural reforms designed to result in strong productivity and enabling businesses to be more responsive to economic conditions. Government efforts for the development of a better tax system, labour market flexibility, industry deregulation, elimination of the last administrative barriers and the new pension system clearly demonstrate that Slovenia is investor-ready. How Slovenia beneficial to Gujarat (India) for their business relationship: During the high-powered visit of prime minister of Slovenia is seeking to double the volume of trade with India. Since 2009, there has been a sharp rise in bilateral trade, with a rise of 50 per cent in each direction. In 2010 the countries did two-way trade worth $302 million. Slovenia is also hoping that the upcoming Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between India and the EU will provide the necessary fillip. Such agreement helpful to Gujarat by exporting home made goods of Gujarat to the Slovenia and no difficulty arise during trade between Gujarat and Slovenia. “We support the FTA and feel it will be beneficial for us,” said Mr. Pahor (Prime Minister of Slovenia) to a group of Indian journalists invited to Slovenia ahead of his visit here. To deepen the economic engagement the two countries have worked out a double taxation avoidance agreement. So Gujarat has free from double taxation for buying and selling goods with Slovenia. There is also potential for an understanding between Gujarat (India) logistics companies and ports and Slovenia's Luka Koper (Port of Koper) to increase usage of its cargo-related facilities. Luka Koper boasts of its geo-strategic location at the head of the Adriatic Sea, and as the northern most reach of the Mediterranean. From the Ecological Point of view we had seen that hear if any india company want to do the business like any company of agriculture, pharmaceutical etc. Because of the environment of slovnia is good for that so that their business is possible. There are many opportunities available for India in many industries to do business with them, which is discussed in detail in respective part of that industry analysis.

A member of the European Union since 2004, Slovenia is today a stable, vibrant democracy that offers a stimulating and low-risk business environment and represents a bridge between Balkan, Central European and Western European countries, all of which it is connected to by historical and cultural ties. Half the size of Switzerland and with two million inhabitants, Slovenia is situated at the crossroads of Central Europe, between the Alps and the Adriatic Sea, bordering Austria, Italy, Hungary and Croatia. The majority, almost 85%, of the country’s population is Slovenian; two minorities, Hungarians and Italians, have the status of indigenous minorities under the Slovenian Constitution. Slovenians are predominantly Roman Catholic, although the country also has a small number of Protestants, Orthodox Christians, Muslims and Jews. Slovenian is a Slavic language, similar to Croatian, Serbian, Slovak and Czech. Slovenia’s roots of democracy extend deep into history when Slovenians practiced the unique custom of electing

  • Carrying Capacity Assessment of Slovene Istria for Tourism
    Sustainable Development and Planning II, Vol. 1 725 Carrying capacity assessment of Slovene Istria for tourism I. Jurincic Turistica, College of Tourism Portoroz, University of Primorska, Slovenia Abstract The method of carrying capacity assessment has been found to be a useful tool for saturation prevention as well as for implementing sustainable tourism development strategies in Slovene Istria. It has been found that sustainable tourism development allows for variations in tourism development intensity in the region. The aim of sustainable tourism development is a long-term optimal use of tourism resources without negative impacts on the natural, social and economic environments. The major constraints that will have to be considered if tourism development is to be sustainable are: waste water collection and treatment, lack of car parks, road and rail transport, sea water quality, potable water resources, solid waste disposal and management, and last but not least the dissatisfaction of the local community and tourists with tourism. The development of more accommodation facilities would not be reasonable without investments in general infrastructure facilities. Measures for increasing carrying capacity have also been suggested. Keywords: carrying capacity, sustainable tourism, indicators, tourist destination, regional planning, geographical information systems. 1 Introduction Today the development of tourism demands careful planning. The environmental impact of tourism is harmful and has frequently been uncoordinated with other users of the land. Moreover, the fragility of the environment has been seldom taken into consideration. Tourism development has been often led by individual investors who put profitability in the first place. To make the situation worse, this has been repeatedly done with complete disregard for tourism development WIT Transactions on Ecology and the Environment, Vol 84, © 2005 WIT Press www.witpress.com, ISSN 1743-3541 (on-line) 726 Sustainable Development and Planning II, Vol.

  • Telecom Policy Across the Former Yugoslavia: Incentives, Challenges, and Lessons Learned by Laura Hosman and Philip N
    JOURNAL OF INFORMATION POLICY 4 (2014): 67-104. TELECOM POLICY ACROSS THE FORMER YUGOSLAVIA: INCENTIVES, CHALLENGES, AND LESSONS LEARNED BY LAURA HOSMAN AND PHILIP N. HOWARD† What is the recipe for good information policy? Hosman and Howard address this in an emerging economy context through case studies of six states that arose following the dissolution of the former Yugoslavia. These new nations pursued differing information policy paths that led to diverse outcomes. The authors find, in general, conventional positive outcomes supporting policies for privatization, liberalization, and competition; but at the same time discover many counterintuitive outcomes based on each country’s unique circumstances. General rules are good, but in specific cases alternative paths can also lead to success. INTRODUCTION Telecommunications policy has come to occupy an important position in the strategies of governments in emerging countries for promoting socio-economic growth. Economists have long acknowledged the significance of the telecommunications sector in its own right as a contributor to economic growth, and its multiplying effect for other sectors of the economy. Political scientists, sociologists, computer scientists, engineers, and development scholars all now have perspectives on how ICTs (information and communication technologies) can contribute to overall development and growth. Governments in developing countries recognize that ICT-oriented initiatives can be promoted through policy, but questions remain as to effective methods for doing so, particularly on a nationwide level. Some governments choose telecommunications policies that hinder technology diffusion, while others choose policies that appear to do a good job at encouraging technology diffusion and reaping subsequent economic rewards. The question of what makes for good policy has become a key issue area for academics and international organizations alike, with various recommendations emerging from numerous macro-level studies aimed at addressing this issue.
