(ANSA) - LJUBLJANA - Around 45,000 new jobs and over 3000 SMEs have been opened in Slovenia thanks to the EU funds it received since becoming a member country in 2004, cohesion policy minister Alenka Smerkolj said in her Parliament address.

"There is not a single municipality in Slovenia which has not received EU funding for its projects", Smerkolj said, underlining that the country has used 95% of the 4.1 billion euros it was entitled to for the 2007-2013 period. Slovenia will be entitled to 3.2 billion euros in EU funds during the 2014-2020 period. (ANSA).
