The Slovenian Organization of Authors and Publishers for Reproduction Rights (SAZOR) was founded in 2003 by 3 founding members: the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Slovenia (GZS), the Slovenian Authors' Society (ZAMP), and the Slovenian Association of Literary Translators.

The organisation acts as a collective management institution for distribution of the remuneration to the entitled parties and members, especially aimed for authorship rights of written texts (literature, articles, studies, handbooks, etc.). The organisation represents over 500 authors (writers, journalists, composers, authors of scientific or educational texts, photographers, illustrators, playwrights) and over 20 publishers in different media.

International cooperation

Since 2007 the organisation is a full member of International Federation of Reproduction Rights Organizations (IFRRO). The IFRRO, an organisation aimed at implementing usage of copyright-based laws on an international level, is located in Brussels and has more than 50 members worldwide.

In October 2011 the IFRRO World Congress and the 40th IFRRO Annual General Meeting will be held in Ljubljana and hosted by Slovenian Organization of Authors and Publishers for Reproduction Rights (SAZOR).
