The European Commission adopted Directive No. 1336/2013 changing the thresholds above which the contracting authorities must publish procurement notices in the Official Journal of the European Union.

The thresholds were changed as follows:

• from EUR 130,000 to EUR 134,000 (goods and services under ZJN-2 procured by state bodies),
• from EUR 200,000 to EUR 207,000 (goods and services under ZJN-2 procured by other contracting authorities),
• from EUR 400,000 to EUR 414,000 (goods and services under ZJNVETPS and ZJNPOV),
• from EUR 5,000,000 to EUR 5,186,000 (works under ZJN-2, ZJNVETPS and ZJNPOV).

Regardless of the provisions of ZJN-2, ZJNVETPS and ZJNPOV, the contracting authorities must apply the new thresholds as of 1 January 2014.

On 30 November 2012, the Act Amending the Public Procurement Act (ZJN-2D) and the Act Amending the Act Regulating Public Procurement in the Water, Energy, Transport and Postal Services Sectors (ZJNVETPS-D) were published in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Slovenia (No. 90/2012).
