Legislation regarding the regulation of Participatory Budgeting experiences
_

In 2018 the framework for PB implementation was defined in
the Law on local Self-Government and its applicable to all local
government led processes.

principal tendencies detected
​
_

PB is a new practice in Slovenia as 11 out of 12 municipalities are going through the first cycle and only one municipality has gone through two cycles. Due to this, the processes are remarkably similar and feature several common characteristics. All but one of the processes are co-decisional, similarly all but one of the processes allow participation at 15-year-old while all processes are based on universal access for participation. The funds allocated for participation most commonly stand at 1% of the total budget (5%-10% of the investment budget). The deliberation aspects are weak in all processes, typically consisting of one public presentation/workshop per area, with further debate left to citizens’ self-initiative. There are also weak evaluation mechanisms with most municipalities having no evaluation mechanisms other than municipal staff assessing the results at the end of decision-making phase.

other information
​
_

PB processes are currently only implemented at the municipal level and municipalities that implement PB are currently offered no institutional support (financial or organizational) apart from limited support from the NGO sector. Hence, the experiences are very similar as they copy the methodology from each other.
It is expected that in the future cycles as the municipalities accumulate some hands-on experience, the processes will become more diverse and will improve on the deliberation and evaluation aspects of the process.
