The embassy maintains and strengthens the relations and contacts with state institutions in the region and promotes cooperation and bilateral political, economic, and cultural relations between Slovenia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. It also provides consular assistance, together with its consular service in Banja Luka.

The embassy also promotes public tenders for translations from Slovenian run by the Slovenian Book Agency.

According to the data available, the Slovene community in Bosnia and Herzegovina consists of approximately 5,000 people who are either Slovenes or have Slovene ancestry. The majority of them live in Sarajevo and some are actively involved in one of the ten Slovene associations spread around Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Slovenian language programmes

The lectureship of Slovenian language reopened in 2015 at the University of Sarajevo and is one of the 55 Slovenian lectureships active around the world.
