District State Prosecutor's Offices

Eleven district state prosecutor’s offices perform the duties of the first instance authority. Local, district and senior state prosecutors work at district state prosecutor’s offices. Their area of operation includes eleven district courts, but they also work at local courts in their areas.

Provided by law, the head of prosecutor’s office and the deputy head of the district state prosecutor’s office are senior state prosecutors.

Certain district state prosecutor’s offices, i.e. Ljubljana District State Prosecutor’s Office, Celje District State Prosecutor’s Office and Koper District State Prosecutor’s Office, have external departments as organisational units functioning under one or several local courts. District state prosecutor’s offices also perform state prosecution functions before higher courts which are competent to rule or make decisions on appeals against the decisions of local and district courts.
