She also explores EU agricultural policy, sustainable development, the role of women and young people in farming, and the challenges Slovenian farmers face due to climate change and market pressures. In a conversation with host Zoran Potič, Minister Čalušić explains the ministry’s decision to withdraw the proposal for reorganizing the agricultural advisory service, which would have placed it under the ministry’s jurisdiction. The decision was made in response to strong political reactions and concerns from stakeholders, she notes. She also emphasizes: "We need an agricultural advisory system, but it must be more efficient and better aligned with farmers’ needs." The discussion also touches on the issue of consumer trust in local agricultural products following past food scandals that have influenced purchasing habits. "At the ministry, we are already conducting analyses and implementing measures to restore confidence in Slovenian food and improve its visibility," she assures. Tune in to the podcast on your favorite platform and watch the discussion!

• Prva čezmejna prestolnica kulture

  V novi epizodi vladnega podkasta GOVSI predstavljamo evropsko prestolnico kulture 2025, Novo Gorico, ki je k sodelovanju povabila čezmejno Gorico. Z direktorico GO! 2025, gospo Mijo Lorbek, in programskim direktorjem, dr. Stojanom Pelkom, se je pogovarjala mag. Polona Prešeren. Na slovenski kulturni praznik, 8. februarja, bosta Nova Gorica in Gorica z umetniškim spektaklom, ki bo vrhunec celodnevnega dogajanja, začeli pripovedovati zgodbo 'Gremo čezmejno'/Go Borderless.  S sogovornikoma smo se pogovarjali o prehojeni poti Nove Gorice, ki se je začela leta 2016 začela z idejo, ki sta jo podala Neda Rusjan Bric, danes režiserka otvoritvene slovesnosti, in takratni župan Nove Gorice, Matej Arčon, danes minister. Predlagala sta, da bi bila slovenska prestolnica kulture malce drugačna, in sicer da bi povedala zgodbo čezmejnosti, ki je v tem prostoru tlela že nekaj časa. Čezmejnost je za ta prostor avtentična in izhaja iz zgodovine. Da bi jo osvetlili, je slovenska Nova Gorica k skupni kandidaturi povabilo italijansko Gorico, kar se je izkazalo za zmagovalno kombinacijo. Projekt predstavlja velik korak na poti uresničitve ambicioznega cilja, da mesti in družbi premagata fizične in mentalne meje. Vabljeni k poslušanju na vaši priljubljeni platformi in ogledu! [ENGLISH VERSION]First cross-border capital of culture In the latest episode of the government podcast GOVSI, we present the European Capital of Culture 2025, Nova Gorica, which has invited the cross-border city of Gorizia to cooperate. Polona Prešeren spoke with the director of GO! 2025, Ms. Mija Lorbek, and the program director, Dr. Stojan Pelko. On Slovenian Cultural Holyday, February 8, Nova Gorica and Gorizia will launch the story "Go Cross-Border" with an artistic spectacle – the highlight of a full day of events. We discussed with our guests the journey of Nova Gorica, which began in 2016 with an idea proposed by Neda Rusjan Bric, now the director of the opening ceremony, and Matej Arčon, then the mayor of Nova Gorica and now a minister. They suggested that Slovenia’s Capital of Culture should be something different – a reflection of cross-border identity, which had long been present in this space. Cross-border cooperation is authentic to this region and rooted in its history. To highlight this, Nova Gorica invited the Italian city of Gorizia to join in a shared bid, which proved to be a winning combination. The European Capital of Culture project therefore is a major step toward achieving an ambitious goal: overcoming physical and mental boundaries between the two cities and two communities. Tune in on your favourite platform to listen or watch and enjoy the experience!

• S Sursom do boljših odločitev in smeha

  V novi epizodi vladnega podkasta GOVSI, ki ga je vodila Petra Bezjak Cirman, smo se poglobili v svet statistike z gostom Apolonijo Oblak Flander, generalnim direktorjem Statističnega urada Republike Slovenije (SURS), in Martinom Bajželjem, vodjo sektorja za objavo podatkov in komuniciranje. Govorili so o pomenu statistike za vsakdanje odločitve, vodenje družbe in razvoj gospodarstva. Statistika je pogosto napačno razumljena kot suhoparno obdelovanje števila. A kot sta poudarjena gosta, predstavlja osrednje orodje za razumevanje družbenih in gospodarskih tokov. »Država brez statistike ne more delovati,« je izpostavila Oblak Flander. Podatki, ki jih SURS zagotavlja, zagotavlja podjetjem, prebivalcem in državam sprejema premišljene odločitve. Od oblikovanja turistične strategije do spremljanja demografskih sprememb – statistika je vtkana v vse ravni družbenega delovanja.V oddaji so spregovorili tudi o prisotnosti Sursa na družbenih omrežjih. Da bi okrepili zanimanje javnosti za podatke, se je na svojih profilih razvil edinstven pristop, ki združuje strokovnost v humorju. Bajželj je razkril, da je tako prvič posegel po bolj sproščeni komunikaciji leta 2013 med evropskim prvenstvom v košarki. Odličen odziv jih je spodbudil, da podatke danes pogosto predstavljajo na zabaven in kreativen način. »Naš cilj je podatke narediti dostopne in zanimive tudi tistim, ki se sicer ne uporabljajo,« je še poudaril.Vabljeni k poslušanju in ogledu podkasta. [ANGLEŠKA RAZLIČICA] Making Better Decisions and Finding Humor - with statisticsIn the new episode of the government GOVSI podcast, hosted by Petra Bezjak Cirman, we delved into the world of statistics with guests Apolonija Oblak Flander, Director-General of the Statistical Office of the Republic of Slovenia (SURS), and Martin Bajželj, Head of the Data Publishing and Communication Sector.

However, as the guests emphasized, it is a key tool for understanding social and economic trends. »A state cannot function without statistics,« highlighted Oblak Flander. The data provided by SURS enable businesses, residents, and the government to make informed decisions. From shaping tourism strategies to monitoring demographic changes—statistics are embedded in all levels of societal functioning.The episode also touched on the SURS's presence on social media.

• Govsi podkast: O delavskih pravicah in inšpektoratu za delo

  V najnovejši, že 15. epizodi podkasta GOVSI, je gostja glavna inšpektorica Inšpektorata za delo, Katja Čoh Kragolnik. Voditelj Zoran Potič je z njo razpravljal o aktualnih vprašanjih delavskih pravic, zakonodaje ter vlogi inšpektorata v praksi. V Sloveniji imamo trenutno rekordno nizko brezposelnost in skoraj milijon zaposlenih, je glavna inšpektorica Čoh Kragolnik poudarila, da nizka brezposelnost ne pomeni nujno manjšega števila kršitev delavskih pravic. Med najpogostejšimi kršitvami je izpostavila neizplačilo plač, regresa in odpravnin, nepravilnosti pri odpovedih pogodb ter kršitve na področju varnosti in zdravja pri delu. V pogovoru se dotakneta tudi nove zakonodaje, kot je pravica do odklopa, in odprtih vprašanj v zvezi z beleženjem delovnega časa, kjer se soočajo s sistematičnimi kršitvami. Katja Čoh Kragolnik je predstavila tudi delovanje skupine inšpektorjev za hitro odzivanje, ki se osredotoča na najbolj pereče primere kršitev. Poudarila je, da so delavci v Sloveniji enako zaščiteni, ne glede na državljanstvo, vendar opozorila na poskuse obvoda zakonodaje pri zaposlovanju delavcev iz tretjih držav. V podkastu je glavna inšpektorica odgovorila tudi na nekaj konkretnih vprašanj, zastavljenih prek vladnih profilov na socialnih omrežjih. Vabljeni k poslušanju in ogledu epizode. [ENGLISH VERSION] Gov.si Podcast: On Workers’ Rights and the Labor Inspectorate In the latest, 15th episode of the GOVSI podcast, the guest is the Chief Labor Inspector, Katja Čoh Kragolnik. Host Zoran Potič discussed pressing issues surrounding workers’ rights, legislation, and the practical role of the Labor Inspectorate with her. While Slovenia currently boasts a record-low unemployment rate and nearly one million employed individuals, Chief Inspector Čoh Kragolnik emphasized that low unemployment does not necessarily mean fewer violations of workers’ rights. Among the most common violations, she highlighted non-payment of wages, holiday allowances, and severance payments, irregularities in contract terminations, and breaches of occupational health and safety regulations. The conversation also touched upon new legislation, such as the right to disconnect, and unresolved issues related to recording working hours, where systematic violations are being observed. Katja Čoh Kragolnik also introduced the operations of the rapid-response inspector team, which focuses on the most pressing cases of violations. She stressed that workers in Slovenia are equally protected regardless of their citizenship but pointed out attempts to circumvent legislation when employing workers from third countries. In the podcast, the Chief Inspector also addressed specific questions posed through government social media profiles. You are invited to listen and watch the episode.
