What Občina Postojna does

Občina Postojna is a local government municipality in the Notranjska region of Slovenia, granted city rights in 1909 and currently led by Mayor Igor Marentič with Director of Municipal Administration Marina Rebec. The entity provides public administrative services, infrastructure management, urban planning, social services, healthcare support, environmental management, and cultural programming to the residents of the Postojna municipality. Its core technology delivery is the E-občina digital portal, developed and maintained by Sigmateh d.o.o., which integrates electronic application submissions (E-vloge), citizen notification systems via email and SMS (E-obvestila), participatory budgeting under the MOJA OBČINA program, public procurement management (Javni razpisi), and citizen engagement tools (Pobude in vprašanja). The portal is integrated with Slovenia's national SI-PASS e-identity service and protected via Cloudflare CDN and security layers.

The municipality does not sell commercial products or services; revenue is generated through municipal taxes, fees, and government allocations. Capital and project funding is supplemented by EU co-financing, with at least EUR 553,157.90 in ERDF support for the Waste Design project alone and additional Interreg IPA ADRION funding for the ADRIAMOVE sustainable mobility initiative. Significant infrastructure investments include a EUR 786,947.76 healthcare laboratory modernization at Zdravstveni dom dr. Franca Ambrožiča Postojna (jointly with Občina Pivka), EUR 232,716 for three underground ecological islands under the Waste Design project, and ongoing business incubator subsidies through Podjetniški inkubator Perspektiva. Customer segments span citizens, local businesses, healthcare and educational institutions, utility providers (Kovod Postojna, KOMPOST d.o.o.), and tourists visiting Postojna Cave. Distribution occurs through the municipal headquarters, e-government platform, public institution network, the FURMAN city bus service, and local community organizations (Krajevne skupnosti).
