Embassy of the former SFRY in Bonn

The building previously housing the SFRY Embassy in Bonn, located near the Rhine at Schlossallee 5, was built over 40 years ago and measures 5,400 m2 (the building proper plus the garden). The building is currently empty and in poor condition, as it has not been in use for the last 20 years. From 1989 to 1991, the Embassy of the SRFY was headed by a Slovenian diplomat, Ambassador Dr Boris Frlec.

Slovenia will continue to work towards a joint sale of both properties and to find a solution as to how to distribute the remaining diplomatic properties belonging to the former common
