About regional development
Since Slovenia joined the European Union, the structural and regional policies have become important issues that concern Gorenjska and its competitiveness as well.
The concept of regional development, institutions and sorts of developmental incentives are determined in the Promotion of Balanced Regional Development Act (OJ RS, No. 93/2005), and regulation acts. However, the implementation depends on the regions and their own development ambitions.
Gorenjska wants to become one of the most dynamic regions in the Alpine area, with the development based upon partnership, entrepreneurship, knowledge, innovativeness, and openness. Gorenjska wants to go up. In the light of the established developmental paradigm and in compliance with the law, the region has organized its operation, and determined its Gorenjska Regional Development Programme 2007-2013 as well as its key projects.
The development region of Gorenjska with NUTS* level 3 has the population of 199.085, and the GDP of 10.830 EUR (index 66 on EU 25). The region comprises 18 municipalities: Bled, Bohinj, Cerklje na Gorenjskem, Gorenja vas - Poljane, Gorje, Jesenice, Jezersko, Kranj, Kranjska Gora, Naklo, Preddvor, Radovljica, Šenčur, Škofja Loka, Tržič, Železniki, Žiri in Žirovnica.
