Describe your organisation

The vast landscape of Sevnica Municipality meanders on both banks of the Sava river valley, the longest Slovenian river. We are the 12th largest Slovenian municipality with 17,500 citizens. Sevnica town has approximately 5000 inhabitants. We stand out with an ordered public infrastructure and a high level of public services and jobs, both allowing safety and well-being. Through prudent use of European funds and state and municipal investments in road, communal and social infrastructure, the image of the area vastly improved in the past decade. Nearly all the land is connected by an optical network. Our municipality is kind to the young and elderly, children and families. Well-maintained public spaces, an abundance of playgrounds and a park along the Sava River offer opportunities for leisure activities in the open, while well-maintained multi-purpose sports and other public buildings offer such opportunities all year long. By eliminating architectural obstacles, we are friendly to young mothers and daddies and all those that benefit from ease of movement.

In 2017, the municipality of Sevnica became the proud bearer of the title of the safest municipality in the category of small and medium-sized cities.
