Response from the competent authority: "Reply from the Ministry of the Environment\
  \ and Spatial Planning:We would like to clarify at the outset that the spatial planning\
  \ regulations precisely delimit the competences of the State and the municipality.\
  \ Spatial development planning and tasks in the field of spatial development and\
  \ construction of buildings are original tasks that municipalities, in accordance\
  \ with Article 21 of the Act on Local Self-Government (Official Gazette of the Republic\
  \ of Slovenia, No. 94/07 - official consolidated text, 76/08, 79/09, 51/10, 40/12\
  \ - ZUJF and 14/15 - ZUUJFO), perform independently. Pursuant to the provisions\
  \ of Article 5 of the Act on Spatial Planning (Official Journal of the RS, No 61/17;\
  \ hereinafter: ZUreP-2), the municipality is responsible, inter alia, for the preparation\
  \ of municipal spatial plans (hereinafter: MSP), which plan spatial developments\
  \ of local importance, determine the intended use of space and spatial implementation\
  \ conditions for the placement of planned interventions in space.\r\nThe Ministry\
  \ has often recommended that municipalities should take a long-term view when preparing\
  \ spatial planning acts and thus plan for a slightly larger amount of building land,\
  \ which they can then make available to potential investors. The Ministry has also\
  \ considered that, despite the current situation in the country, there are no justified\
  \ reasons to suspend the procedures for the preparation of municipal spatial planning\
  \ acts, and has therefore recommended that municipalities may proceed with them,\
  \ subject to reasonable compliance with the Act on Temporary Measures in Connection\
  \ with Judicial, Administrative and Other Public Law Matters to Control the Spread\
  \ of the Infectious Disease SARS-CoV-2.\r\nThe procedure for the preparation and\
  \ adoption of the OPN is laid down in the ZUreP-2. The Ministry will shortly prepare\
  \ amendments to this law, proposing to streamline the procedure for preparing the\
  \ OPN/OPPN and thus reduce the time taken to prepare spatial planning acts.\r\n "
