response: "Response from the Ministry of Infrastructure\nIn the context of the latest\
  \ adoption of the highly austerity-oriented state budget rebalancing, the Ministry\
  \ of Infrastructure has also lost a significant amount of financial resources needed\
  \ to efficiently carry out investments and maintenance of the national road network.\
  \ The state of public finances at the time of the adoption of the State Budget was\
  \ such that it dictated severe austerity in all areas of budget spending, including\
  \ road infrastructure.\nThe rehabilitation of the existing national road network\
  \ currently depends solely on the provision of financial resources to the Infrastructure\
  \ Directorate of the Republic of Slovenia. Based on the analyses carried out, we\
  \ would need approximately \u20AC 298 million of funding per year. This would gradually\
  \ improve the condition of the national roads and ensure better road safety from\
  \ an infrastructure point of view. Within the existing financial envelope, the main\
  \ activities currently being carried out are the rehabilitation of the most urgent\
  \ damage to the carriageways and the implementation of routine road maintenance\
  \ on a minimal scale, with the remaining projects to be taken up as soon as additional\
  \ financial resources become available. In this context, the Ministry of Infrastructure\
  \ is accelerating its efforts to find solutions to secure new dedicated resources,\
  \ including the so-called Infrastructure Fund, which would allow for targeted, dedicated\
  \ and economic rehabilitation of the current situation in the road infrastructure.\n\
  The Infrastructure Directorate of the Republic of Slovenia shall mark all sections\
  \ of the national road network that do not meet the minimum technical standards\
  \ or legal provisions with the prescribed traffic signs, which warn the users of\
  \ the road network of increased traffic hazards. In individual cases where the minimum\
  \ standards are not met, the road section may even be closed to traffic. The proposal\
  \ that the State should reimburse the cost of repairs to the undercarriage of vehicles\
  \ to drivers who use roads on a daily basis that have, for example, been marked\
  \ for more than three years with warning signs for damaged road surfaces is not\
  \ possible in the light of the current sectoral legislation. This is because such\
  \ cases are dealt with under the general provisions of the law of damages and individual\
  \ cases are dealt with by the Infrastructure Directorate of the Republic of Slovenia,\
  \ which manages and maintains the national road network.\n \n "
