Well, so far there have been some price rises, especially in the services sector, but nothing too drastic. Nowhere near the increases Italy and some other countries have seen. I think this is all we're gonna see as well, since there aren't going to be anymore opportunities to secretly increase prices..

A consumer watchdog body in Slovenia says the country's transition to the euro is going smoothly but many people have complained of price rises.

"We've had a lot more complaints since 1 January," said Breda Kutin, head of the Slovenian Consumers' Association.

Slovenians see price hikes after euro arrival



The Slovenian Consumers' Association has warned that a wide range of price increases have been registered across the country, as businesses opened and began trading in euros on Wednesday (3 January) on the first working day of the New Year.

Daily Telegraph: Dramatican skok cijena u Sloveniji

Daily Telegraph u ponedjeljak izvještava o dramaticnom skoku cijena u slovenskim kaficima i kafanama poslije uvodenja eura prije samo nešto više od sedmicu dana.
Kapucino je poskupio za 28 posto i brojni, posebno mladi, Slovenci poceli da se žale da je euro po?eo da narušava njihov dosada relativno komforan nacin života, javlja doduše euroskeptican, Daily Telegraph.

What I'd call drammatical was the price rise in Italy 5 years ago, where things went up from for example 4000 LIT (~2€) to 4 € (~8000 LIT), basically what many shops did was that they just removed the zeroes and thus increased the price by 50%. Iono, but if a morning "Kapučino" is like 10c more expensive I wouldn't make such a big fuss about it as if i wanted to buy some Jeans for double their price. Very vaguely said, of course.

A 28% rise in the price of coffee is more of an exception than the norm..

I'd call entering the Schengen Area the final step (and presiding the EU shortly after that).

[edolen1]

Yah, Schengen is the final step. On December 1, 2007!

From today, the euro is the only legal currency in Slovenia, which makes the tolar history. The Slovenian tolar (SIT), which was divided into 100 stotins, was the currency from October 8, 1991, when it replaced the Yugoslav dinar, to January 14, 2007; however from January 1, 2007, when the euro was introduced, the paybacks were allowed only in euros. The exchange rate was set by 239.64 tolars for 1 euro.

So long tolar, welcome euro!

Slovenija je gostila enega največjih dogodkov v svoji zgodovini. Prevzem evra je na slovesnosti v Cankarjevem domu pozdravilo več kot 200 visokih evropskih gostov.

Have any of you noticed rising prices like people in Italy and Greece complained about or has the conversion been better managed in Slovenia?

[antenor]

it has been better managed, but still there have been some price rises in some services, and things like coffe and stuff.. but nowhere near in the scale of what happened in Italy where the prices doubled.. we'll see, it doesn't seem that bad so far..

Easy, rises will not happiend over night. That is long process, for example in period of the half year or year. Why will Slovenia be exception from rest of the Eurozone? Of course it will not. Lets be honest, my prediction is after one year from first EUR on Slovenian streets, all prices will be double. Just like in rest of Eurozone.
