Response from the competent authority: 'Answer from the Ministry of Public Administration:
  the issuance of digital certificates in Slovenia started in 2000, and in 2001 the
  issuer of digital certificates for citizens, SIGEN-CA, started issuing digital certificates.
  We estimate that the number of active digital certificates in Slovenia today is
  around 500,000, which is not a small number, and they are issued by several issuers.
  Since its inception, the digital certificate issuer SIGEN-CA, which today operates
  under the Ministry of Public Administration, has been issuing digital certificates
  to citizens free of charge, with the aim of encouraging the use of electronic public
  administration services and promoting the use of digital certificates. The State
  thus recognises all certificates issued by all Slovenian issuers for the purpose
  of conducting business with the public administration.  The Ministry of Public Administration
  or the issuer SIGEN-CA promotes the use of digital certificates at all its events
  throughout the years of its operation. For the last five years, in order to promote
  it to younger citizens, we have been offering digital certificates to all students
  for the purpose of enrolment in the first year of university, i.e. between 15,000
  and 20,000 prospective students are introduced to digital certificates each year.
  We are now preparing notices at administrative units to inform citizens who visit
  the administrative unit about the possibility of obtaining and using digital certificates
  for e-commerce purposes from home.'
