The Directive 2000/31/EC (E-Commerce Directive) is the legal basis governing the liability of Internet Services Providers (ISPs) in the EU Member States and includes a conditional safe harbour. Not all Member States have transposed the relevant articles consistently, leading to divergent national case law that could cause legal insecurity on an EU level.

The EU Directive on Audiovisual Media Services (AVMS) covers traditional broadcasting services as well as audiovisual media services provided on-demand, including via the Internet. Art. 13.1 provides for Member States to secure a minimum 30% share of European works in the catalogues as well as "ensuring prominence" of those works. "Prominence" involves promoting European works by facilitating access to such works using any appropriate means to ensure their prominence. The Directive has been implemented by Member States in different ways, ranging from very extensive and detailed measures to a mere reference to the general obligation to promote European works.
In Slovenia, the EU Directive was transposed into domestic law through the amendment of the Act on Audiovisual Media Services of December 2021 (Act on Amendments to the Act on Audiovisual Media Services (ZAvMS-B)). According to Art. 16.2 of the Act, at least 30% of the works in the programme catalogue of an on-demand audiovisual media service provider in a given calendar year must consist of European audiovisual works. In addition, Slovenian audiovisual works must make up at least 5% of the total works in the catalogue. For these calculations, individual works are defined as feature films, complete seasons of television series, and similar content.
The guidelines issued by the Commission on the calculation of the share of European works in on-demand catalogues must be followed when determining these quotas. Furthermore, as stipulated in Art. 16.5, news, sports events (live or recorded), games, advertising, teleshopping, and teletext services are excluded from the programme catalogue calculation. Slovenia has not imposed financial contribution obligations on VOD service providers.

It is reported that passive sharing is mandated and is effective in both the mobile (based on commercial agreements) and fixed sectors. In addition, Art. 3.2 of the Directive 2014/61/EU establishes that Member States shall ensure that, upon written request of an undertaking providing or authorised to provide public communications networks, any network operator must meet all reasonable requests for access to its physical infrastructure under fair and reasonable terms and conditions, including price, with a view to deploying elements of high-speed electronic communications networks. Such written request shall specify the elements of the project for which the access is requested, including a specific time frame.

The government of Slovenia owns 62.54% of Telekom Slovenije, the major incumbent telecommunications operator. State-owned entities Kapitalska druzba (KAD) and Slovenian Sovereign Holding (SDH) respectively hold a further 5.59% and 4.25% in Telekom Slovenije.

It is reported that Slovenia does not mandate functional separation for operators with significant market power in the telecom sector. However, accounting separation is required in certain cases. According to Art. 25 of the Electronic Communications Act, the Agency may impose an obligation on a specific network operator with significant market power to keep accounting records in relation to specified activities relating to interconnection and/or operator access separate from accounting records for other activities.

It is reported that the Agency for Communication Networks and Services of the Republic of Slovenia (AKOS), the executive authority for the supervision and administration of services in the telecommunications sector, is independent from the government in the decision-making process.

Arts. 23.1 and 23.4 of the ZVOP-2 stipulate that personal data specified in legislation governing administrative internal affairs, financial administration, citizenship, the Slovenian Intelligence and Security Agency, defence, healthcare, compulsory health insurance, the exercise of rights arising from public funds, and criminal and misdemeanour records, must not be stored outside the territory of Slovenia.

Under the revised Art. 31 of the Investment Promotion Act, foreign acquisitions in "critical sectors" that meet specific criteria are required to be notified to and reviewed by a Notification Commission established by the Ministry of the Economy, Tourism, and Sport. These criteria include: (i) direct or indirect acquisitions of at least 10% of the share capital or voting rights of a corporate entity registered in Slovenia, and (ii) investments in tangible or intangible assets for the establishment of a new corporate entity in Slovenia, where the foreign investor acquires, directly or indirectly, at least 10% of the share capital or voting rights of the newly established entity.
Art. 31.c of the law specifies that sectors and activities of special focus include: (i) critical physical or virtual infrastructure, such as communications, media, and data processing or storage; (ii) critical technologies and dual-use products, including artificial intelligence, semiconductors, and cybersecurity; and (iii) information and communications technology.d
