Slovenia will, in accordance with the provisions, receive around 7.46 million.
 
Mojca Kleva, said, "that the European Union Solidarity Fund will make the lives of those who have been affected the most a little easier and allow that the people to gradually return to normal life, start over and forget about the consequences of the flooding."
