Slovenia Weekly: Slovenia on the global stage

At midnight, Slovenia ended the temporary reintroduction of border controls at its borders with Croatia and Hungary, which had been in place since October 2023. The police will replace border controls with a range of more targeted measures, which the Government expects will further enhance security and improve police efficiency.

Slovenia is playing in the top league on the global stage, and it is up to us to step onto that stage as competitors who have come to win, emphasised Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of the Economy, Labour and Sport Anže Logar, in his opening remarks at the Slovenian Global Forum national conference. The country's flagship event dedicated to the internationalisation of the Slovenian economy, held under the title “Slovenia on the Global Stage”, focused this year on the opportunities that sport can offer in this area.

8 June was designated Primož Trubar Day in honour of the founder of the Slovenian literary language. The day commemorates Primož Trubar, the leading figure of Slovenian Protestantism in the 16th century, who laid the foundations of the Slovenian literary language through the publication of the first books printed in Slovenian.
