STA, 6 November 2019 - Environment Minister Simon Zajc met on Wednesday mayors or representatives of the five municipalities which had so far expressed interest in hosting a waste incineration facility, agreeing that the municipalities will be assisted by the ministry in drafting conceptual design of such facilities.
Zajc met the mayors or representatives of Ljubljana, Maribor, Ptuj, Jesenice and Kočevje, the Ministry of the Environment and Spatial Planning said.
It was agreed that the ministry would help these municipalities make conceptual designs for facilities, which would feature exact locations, security solutions, technological concepts, timelines and plans for the inclusion of local communities.
Within three months, the ministry would review the documents and make a decision which will serve as the basis for further steps related to the location and construction of a waste incineration facility.
