The veterinary activities of disinfection, disinsection and deratisation (DDD) can be performed by veterinary organisations, the National Veterinary Institute and other organisations that fulfil the prescribed conditions in order to prevent the spread of infectious diseases of animals. In order to perform its activity, an organisation is obliged to acquire the decision of the Veterinary Administration of the Republic of Slovenia (VURS) on the fulfilment of prescribed conditions, as well as a concession granted by VURS, which is valid for the entire territory of the Republic of Slovenia.

the procedure for establishing the completion of conditions is initiated on the demand of the organisation, which is performed by a three-member commission appointed by the general director of VURS. The commission performs an inspection of premises, equipment and means for the implementation of DDD; verifies the completion of HR conditions and provides an opinion regarding the lodged claim, which is the basis for the issue of the decision of the general director of VURS on the fulfilment of prescribed conditions. After acquiring the decision on the fulfilment of conditions, the organisation can apply to VURS' public tender for the allocation of the concession for the performance of veterinary activity DDD.
The state (grantor of concession), as the provider of concessions, grants the concessionaire a license to perform a certain activity, which remains a part of the public veterinary service for a ten-year period.

- the activity of public veterinary service performed by the concessionaire;
- veterinarians who will perform individual activities as determined in the contract.
The concessionaire shall be held liable for all damages caused by the concessionaire's employees to users or other persons during the performance, or in connection with the performance, of concession.
