U.S. Embassy Ljubljana, Slovenia
Prešernova cesta 31, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia
Ljubljana, Slovenia
The United States established diplomatic relations with Slovenia in 1992 following its independence from Yugoslavia. The United States and Slovenia work together actively on a number of fronts and have developed strong, cooperative relations on a broad range of bilateral, regional, and global issues. Slovenia is an important partner in advancing the shared goal of regional political and economic stability. In recent years, the United States has sought to promote Slovenia’s future as a vibrant, pluralistic democracy by supporting Slovene membership in organizations such as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), the European Union (EU), and the World Trade Organization (WTO), while Slovenia has joined international stabilization efforts within countries such as Afghanistan. The two countries worked closely to resolve succession issues stemming from the breakup of Yugoslavia. Slovenia provided invaluable assistance to the United States and NATO by facilitating the deployment of peacekeeping forces to Bosnia after the conclusion of the 1995 Dayton accords. With strong U.S. support, Slovenia has developed the International Trust Fund as the demining instrument of choice in the Balkans and has expanded operations to include other areas. The United States works with the Slovenian military to promote greater cooperation and interoperability with NATO forces. Slovenia’s military personnel work alongside U.S. and international forces on stabilization and reconstruction efforts around the globe. Slovenia’s peacekeeping troops and contributions to international security operations help bolster stability specifically in the Western Balkans, but also strengthen common defense against transnational terrorism more broadly. U.S. security assistance seeks to help Slovenia maintain its position as a positive and stabilizing influence in southeastern Europe, and to help its forces to further modernize as Slovenia qualitatively increases its participation in NATO missions further abroad. Today, the U.S. embassy is in Ljubljana. For more information on our relationship with Slovenia, please click here.
