AML framework
Supervised by Banka Slovenije
The backbone statute is the Zakon o preprečevanju pranja denarja in financiranja terorizma (ZPPDFT-2) — the Prevention of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing Act — published in Uradni list RS No. 48/22 (with amendments in No. 145/22 and subsequent gazettes). It entered into force on 5 April 2022, replacing ZPPDFT-1 from 2016 and transposing the EU AML Directives. From 2027 it will coexist with the directly applicable EU AML Regulation and AMLA.
