Slovenia Weekly: The pillars of modern Slovenia

"In its next term, this Government will continue to build Slovenia on four pillars, with a social state focused on the Slovenian people taking centre stage. The social state is what unites us most," said Prime Minister Robert Golob in his address in the National Assembly this week.

The second pillar will be building a knowledge- and future-based society. "This is the first time in history that a country has decided to build a whole knowledge chain – from preschool to businesses and innovation," said the Prime Minister, expressing his wish that knowledge continues to be publicly available in Slovenia.

As knowledge must lead to added value, the third pillar of a modern state combines economic performance and development. Finally, the fourth pillar of modern Slovenia according to the Prime Minister consists of defence and security.
