• Electronic Communications Act

Based on Article 4 of the Electronic Communications Act (ZEKom-1) any natural person or legal entity may provide electronic communications networks and/or electronic communications services subject to the conditions as set out in this Act and in the implementing regulations issued pursuant thereto, and in accordance with other legislation in force, provided this does not endanger public order, human life and health, public security or the defence of the state. Article 5 of ZEKom-1 determines in the first paragraph that notification must be given in writing to the Agency for Communication Networks and Services of the Republic of Slovenia (AKOS) prior to the commencement or alteration of the provision of public communications networks and/or public communication services.

Article 5 of the ZEKom-1 stipulates in the fifth paragraph that after receiving the notification with all necessary information, the AKOS registers the operator in the official register. The entry in the official register does not constitute a condition for the implementation of the rights and obligations of operators under this Act. Confirmation does not constitute an administrative act and does not in itself provide rights and obligations under this Act.
