New Dobrunje Prison Opens, Marking Significant Investment in Slovenia’s Justice System
The newly constructed male prison in Dobrunje, Slovenia, was officially opened today, representing the country’s first new prison facility since 2005. Minister of Justice Andreja Kokalj highlighted the significance of the project during her address to attendees. Kokalj noted that the opening marks the culmination of years of planning and investment, addressing a longstanding need for expanded correctional capacity within Slovenia.
The Dobrunje prison represents the first new prison built since the Kopru prison opened in 2005. “Today we are not only opening a new facility, but also closing a long period of delay and lack of investment, and opening a new chapter in the development of the prison system,” Kokalj stated. The project, spanning nearly a decade, involved considerable effort and collaboration.
The construction of the Dobrunje prison was characterized by numerous challenges and required sustained perseverance. The Minister emphasized that the opening is a direct result of almost ten years of preparation, informed professional decisions, and the combined work of numerous individuals. This new prison will contribute to the ongoing development of Slovenia’s justice system.
