A number of civil society e-participation projects has emerged in recent years in Slovenia aiming to strengthen civil dialogue and utilize the internet to support participatory democracy. This is a 2nd contribution to the CEE CN background paper provided for the PEP-NET on-line consultation “eParticipation in Central and Eastern Europe: The big questions” (available in pdf file at the Institute for Electronic Participation web site).

The article is providing a short description of the most visible of recent e-participation initiatives implemented by the non-governmental organizations in Slovenia including:

1. Citizen’s forum European Debates (https://www.evropske-razprave.si/)
2. NGO’s e-Participation portal during the Slovenian EU Council Presidency (https://www.predsedovanje.si/)
3. Open-source NGO’s e-Participation platform for on-line civil dialogue (https://www.sodeluj.net/)
4. Slovenian Civil Society e-Participation web service (https://www.e-participacija.si/)
