Response from the competent authority: "Coordinated response from the Ministry of\
  \ Health and the Health Insurance Institution of Slovenia (hereinafter ZZZS):\r\n\
  On the basis of a sound reflection, ZZZS has taken a business decision on how long\
  \ it will issue European Health Insurance Cards. As the European Health Insurance\
  \ Card is based on the basis of the regulated compulsory health insurance, ZZZS\
  \ has stipulated in Article 221 of the Rules of Compulsory Health Insurance that\
  \ ZZZS may issue the European Health Insurance Card for a period of 1 year as a\
  \ rule and for a maximum period of 5 years, as follows:\r\n1. to an insured person\
  \ who is posted to work abroad and to his/her family members for a maximum period\
  \ of the intended work abroad;\r\n2. insured persons who are studying or undergoing\
  \ professional training abroad but who do not have the characteristics of a worker,\
  \ for a maximum of one academic year or for the duration of the study or training\
  \ abroad;\r\n3. insured persons for the duration of a temporary stay abroad for\
  \ one year;\r\n4. pensioners and their dependants and children up to the age of\
  \ 18, if they are not insured themselves, for a period of five years or until the\
  \ age of 18.This decision was taken because insured persons who are not pensioners\
  \ but are employees or students are more likely to have their insurance changed\
  \ or terminated while the card is still valid, and thus are more likely to use -\
  \ misuse - a card that does not have insurance cover.\r\nWe would like to thank\
  \ you for your initiative, which will serve as a basis for reconsideration of the\
  \ regulation of this issue.\r\n "
