www.razvoj.si/las
The establishment of the Local Action Group (LAG or LAS in Slovenian) The Heart of Slovenia for the area of municipalities Dol pri Ljubljani, Kamnik, Litija, Lukovica, Moravče, and Šmartno pri Litiji is based on the European Regulation on support for rural development by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD).
With the adoption of the Rural Development Programme of the Republic of Slovenia 2007-2013, the country entered a new programme period in which it will be entitled to draw the resources from the EAFRD. With the Rural Development Programme Slovenia implements measures, arranged in four axes, of which the so-called LEADER axis (the 4th axis) is an innovation encouraging decision-making on the development of individual rounded rural areas, following the "bottom-up" approach.

The basic goal of the LEADER approach is to create local capacities, increase employment, diversify rural activities, stimulate local endogenous development, improve management in rural areas, and spread innovation. The LEADER approach is designed for all inhabitants of the countryside interested in finding and further developing local initiatives for the development of their area and participating in their implementation.
