Zavod Novo mesto, public service for tourism, sport, culture, and youth Novo mesto (acronym ZNM) was established in 2017 after the merger of the Cultural Center Janez Trdina and the Sports Agency Novo mesto and combines the fields of culture, sport, youth and tourism within the framework of its expanded mission. The role of the ZNM is to carry out the function of a regional center that develops policies, programs and projects in the basic fields, manages existing programs and develops new products that have a positive impact on the quality of life of the inhabitants and are attractive to foreign visitors.
