Response from the competent authority: 'Reply from the Ministry of the Interior, Directorate
  for Informatics and e-Services: the Ministry of the Interior (MoI), which is responsible
  for ensuring the operation of the central information and communication system,
  does not hold data on informatics in the wider public administration, as management
  in this area is highly decentralised. Even within the civil service, some authorities
  are in some ways completely autonomous, which naturally implies a high degree of
  fragmentation.Nevertheless, we actively support the establishment of interoperability
  in the development of e-services, including the use and development of open standards
  wherever possible.Notwithstanding the decentralised governance in this area, practice
  shows that the country''s IT systems are composed of elements of licensed software
  as well as of elements of open source software at the level of system software,
  desktop software, and application software.This is not only the case in the public
  administration, but also in the public administration. In addition, on 23 January
  2014, the Government of the Republic of Slovenia approved the Baselines for the
  Renewal of the State Informatics System. On this basis, the Ministry of the Interior
  will prepare an analysis of the situation and submit to the Government, by the end
  of April at the latest, a plan for the overhaul of IT in the state administration
  and an operational programme of measures, identifying priorities and the possibility
  of introducing modern business models and solutions.The overhaul entails a strategic
  reorganisation and, in general, allows each individual area to rebuild the foundations
  for its IT operations.The key objectives pursued by the renewal of state IT are
  to reduce the cost of ownership of information and communication systems and services
  in the state administration, to modernise the common information and communication
  system of the state administration and to relieve the burden on the public administration,
  the economy and the citizens through connected (integrated) e-services, as well
  as to enable cross-border e-services, as required by the single internal market
  of the European Union. The Ministry has no specific plans to use open source in
  the public administration, but as a rule we try to use free open source solutions
  if they are functionally appropriate. In 2011, a study on the deployment of Open
  Source Software (OSS) on workstations in the civil service was also carried out,
  which gave a positive opinion on the use of OSS on the desktop.The study is available
  at: http://www.arhiv.mju.gov.si/fileadmin/mju.gov.si/pageuploads/mju_dokumenti/pdf/STUDIJA_ODPRTA_KODA.pdfWe
  carried out an intensive research or testing exercise at the Ministry to check how
  the existing software currently used in the Windows environment in the civil service
  (primarily in ministries and administrative units) works on an open source operating
  system on a workstation, and in addition to testing the functionality itself, we
  also looked for suitable open source software replacements for Windows applications.
  We found that for many existing software solutions such replacements exist, but
  are functionally deficient and therefore, from the point of view of business processes
  in the state administration, unacceptable. For some essential software, solutions
  do not exist at all.'
