About the Consulate General Cleveland

The Consulate General of the Republic of Slovenia in Cleveland is one of two professional diplomatic representations in the entire state of Ohio and the only one in the city of Cleveland.

The establishment of diplomatic relations between the Republic of Slovenia and the United States (August 11, 1992) was accompanied by the opening of embassies in Washington and Ljubljana. The two countries set the basis for dialogue at all levels. The Embassy of the Republic of Slovenia in Washington was officially opened on August 21, 1992.

One of the main tasks of the Consulate General is to promote all-round cooperation between the Republic of Slovenia and the States that comprise the consular jurisdiction of the Consulate General.  Special attention is given to those fields in which citizens of both countries have economic, cultural, and political interests. As important, the Consulate General serves as an intermediary between the Republic of Slovenia and Slovenian citizens living within the consular district, as well as those who are interested in traveling, living, or studying in Slovenia.
