Response from the competent authority: Reply from the Ministry of Public Administration:The
  Ministry of Public Administration has drafted annexes and forwarded them to the
  public sector trade unions on several occasions in the past years, but no agreement
  has been reached in this respect to ensure equal treatment of civil servants and
  to contribute to the elimination of certain administrative procedures, thereby relieving
  the burden on employees performing tasks in this area.The key change proposed by
  the government side was that the distance from the place of residence to the place
  of work would be the sole criterion for the amount of reimbursement of commuting
  costs, which means that everyone would be reimbursed a mileage allowance, since
  distance is an objective criterion on the basis of which civil servants commuting
  from the same distance would receive the same amount of reimbursement in the form
  of a mileage allowance. The trade union side did not reject this approach in principle,
  but suggested that in urban centres where there is public transport, the reimbursement
  of public transport costs should still be maintained, but this would mean that the
  amount of funding for commuting costs would increase, since public transport is
  significantly more expensive than mileage for short distances and mileage is more
  expensive for longer distances.The government side will continue to work towards
  a different regulation in this area, with the aim of reaching a solution in the
  negotiation process with the trade unions that addresses the shortcomings of the
  current regulation and is acceptable to the majority of trade unions.The Ministry
  of Public Administration explains that the matter of reimbursement of transport
  costs to and from work is regulated in the Collective Agreement for Non-Economic
  Activities (Official Gazette of the Republic of Slovenia, No. 18/91-I, 53/92, 13/93

  or annexes to collective agreements of activities and professions.
