What Agencija za komunikacijska omrežja in storitve Republike Slovenije does

Agencija za komunikacijska omrežja in storitve Republike Slovenije (AKOS) is the national regulatory authority of the Republic of Slovenia, established in 2001 and headquartered in Ljubljana. The agency exercises statutory authority over electronic communications networks and services, radio frequency spectrum management, postal services, railway services, audiovisual media services, digital services platforms, and artificial intelligence. AKOS is led by Director mag. Marko Mišmaš and governed by the AKOS Council. In 2026, the agency holds the presidency of BEREC (Body of European Regulators of Electronic Communications), coordinates with the EU AI Office on AI Act implementation, and participates in the Digital Services Act Board for cross-border platform enforcement.

The agency's core technology consists of a portfolio of public-facing digital portals supporting both regulatory and consumer information functions. These include Geoportal AKOS (GIS-based spatial data on mobile base stations, public infrastructure, and coverage), AKOS TestNet (network measurement tools), eAnalitik (market data analytics and operator comparison), eVloge (electronic submission portal with digital certificate authentication), Primerjaj operaterje (telecom comparison tool), MIPI (media and information literacy platform), and DAB Slovenia (digital radio promotion). The Geoportal was updated in May 2026 with new spatial layers including user dispute analyses and mobile coverage data, and in May 2026 AKOS granted DAB+ broadcasting rights to 16 radio programs.

AKOS does not sell products or services. As a state regulatory entity, it is funded through regulatory fees, administrative charges, and Slovenian government budget allocations. Its stakeholders span seven constituencies: end-user consumers (dispute resolution via toll-free line 080 27 35), telecom operators (spectrum licensing, operator registration), postal providers, railway operators, AI system providers (AI Act compliance, sandbox participation), digital platforms (DSA content moderation), and broadcasters (frequency allocation, content oversight). The agency partners strategically with BEREC, the Electronic Communications Committee (ECC), the European Commission AI Office, the DSA Board, and Slovenian industry associations for stakeholder engagement.
