In force.
An AI governance rule binding public and private bodies.
As of 6 September 2026.
What it requires
- Expect the Agency for Communication Networks and Services of the Republic of Slovenia (AKOS) to be Slovenia's market-surveillance and compliance-oversight authority for a high-risk AI system falling within the AI Act's Annex I or Annex III categories that Slovenia has assigned to it.
- Expect AKOS to be able to act against a provider, product manufacturer, deployer, authorised representative, importer, or distributor found in breach of the AI Act during its supervision, including forwarding a Slovenian user's complaint against a provider established in another country to that country's own coordinator.

Logging duty
Member 20 does not itself create the duty to draw up or keep the Article 18 technical documentation the EU AI Act imposes on a provider of a high-risk AI system; that duty is the Regulation's own. It adds a national continuation duty for the Article 18(1) retention period: if a provider or its authorised representative established in Slovenia enters bankruptcy or ceases business before that period ends, paragraph 2 requires it to hand the documentation to the Agency for Communication Networks and Services (AKOS) within 30 days, and paragraph 3 has AKOS continue holding it, once the Article 18(1) period expires, under Slovenia's own law on protecting documentary and archival material, which does not itself state a further period here.

What this law does
Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.
ZIUDHPUI designates the Agency for Communication Networks and Services of the Republic of Slovenia (AKOS) as Slovenia's single point of contact for the AI Act, the body responsible for setting up at least one AI regulatory sandbox, and the market-surveillance and compliance-oversight authority over high-risk AI systems the Act places within national competence, including systems listed in Annex I that are safety components of, or are themselves, products covered by named EU harmonisation legislation, and Annex III systems used in critical infrastructure, employment, public benefits eligibility, and emergency-services triage.
AKOS also monitors the transparency obligations of providers and deployers of certain AI systems and can act against a provider, product manufacturer, deployer, authorised representative, importer, or distributor found, during its supervision, to be in breach of the AI Act, and forwards complaints from Slovenian users against providers established elsewhere to the coordinator in that provider's own country.
