Slovenia–Ukraine relations

Slovenia–Ukraine relations are bilateral relations between Ukraine and Slovenia.[1]

Slovenia recognized Ukraine's independence on 11 December 1991, and diplomatic relations were established three months later, on 10 March 1992. In 2004, in Ljubljana, Ukraine opened the Embassy of Ukraine in Slovenia, and the Embassy of Slovenia in Ukraine was opened in April 2004 in Kyiv. Before that, its task was performed by the Embassy of the Republic of Slovenia in Budapest.[2] Ukraine has a general consulate in Prešov.

Slovenia is a member of the NATO and European Union, which Ukraine applied to join in 2022. Both countries are full members of Council of Europe. Slovenia, along with Montenegro, is a Sectoral Dialogue Partner of the Organization of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation.

History

In 2014, Slovenia condemned the Russian annexation of Crimea in support of Ukraine, and after the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Slovenia was put in Russia's "unfriendly countries" list, along with all EU members. Slovenian-Ukrainian relations improved, with embassies open in their respective capitals.
