Ljubljana Airport Unveils €5.35 Million Taxiway Upgrade
Ljubljana Jože Pučnik Airport has completed a major upgrade to its taxiway system, marking one of the biggest airside infrastructure improvements in recent years at the airport. The centerpiece of the initiative is Taxiway J, a newly constructed 170-metre‑long and 30‑metre‑wide connector located just 250 metres from the threshold of Runway 12, linking directly to Taxiway A.
Between March and June 2024, contractor Gorenjska Gradbena Družba laid nearly 9,000 m² of asphalt for the new Taxiway J and renewed about 20,000 m² on the existing Taxiway A. The removed asphalt was recycled and repurposed at other locations.

Slovenia’s Economy Rebounds – GDP Up 0.7% in Second Quarter
Slovenia’s economy recorded a positive turnaround in the second quarter of this year, as gross domestic product (GDP) grew by 0.7% year-on-year, following a decline of around 0.6% in the first quarter. The main driver of the rebound was private consumption, which rose by 3.6%, largely fueled by increased spending in the services sector.
The figures suggest that consumers are slowly returning to higher levels of spending, offering hope for further economic stabilization. This recovery contrasts with the negative annual growth trend at the start of the year. Outlooks for the remainder of 2025 remain cautiously optimistic, provided that consumer confidence and service-sector stability continue to support growth.

Balancing Human Impact and Nature at Lake Cerknica
Lake Cerknica, Slovenia’s largest intermittent lake, faces growing challenges from climate change and human activity. Shifts in rainfall patterns and higher temperatures have altered its natural cycle, leading to lower spring and summer water levels and longer droughts, threatening fish spawning and bird nesting. Human practices, particularly annual mowing after 1 August, further damage crucial reed beds that provide habitat for rare species. To address this, the LIFE-TRŠCA project is testing rotational mowing and habitat restoration. Experts stress that while adaptation is natural, today’s rapid changes risk outpacing the ecosystem’s ability to recover, endangering its rich biodiversity.

Slovenia Becomes First EU Country to Ban Weapons Trade with Israel
In a groundbreaking move, Slovenia has officially banned all arms exports and military trade with Israel, becoming the first EU member state to do so. The decision was announced by the Slovenian government this week, citing growing humanitarian concerns and the ongoing conflict in Gaza as key reasons for the embargo.
The ban includes the suspension of all licenses for the export, import, and transit of weapons and military equipment to and from Israel. Slovenian officials emphasized that the country is taking a clear stand for human rights and international law, following months of civil society pressure and parliamentary debates.
This historic policy shift is already resonating across the EU, potentially setting a precedent for other nations to reassess their own defense ties with Israel. Human rights organizations have praised Slovenia’s decision as a bold and ethical step in line with international humanitarian principles.

The owner of an online bookstore wants commercial reporting showing the proportion of visitors who consulted and left its site without buying, or consulted and bought the last celebrity autobiography of the month, as well as the average age and the male/female distribution of each category. Data relating to your navigation on its site and to your personal characteristics is then used and combined with other such data to produce these statistics.
An advertiser wants to better understand the type of audience interacting with its adverts. It calls upon a research institute to compare the characteristics of users who interacted with the ad with typical attributes of users of similar platforms, across different devices. This comparison reveals to the advertiser that its ad audience is mainly accessing the adverts through mobile devices and is likely in the 45-60 age range.
