Cultural cooperation
The legal basis for cooperation in the field of culture is the Agreement on Cooperation in Culture, Education and Science between the Republic of Slovenia and Russian Federation, signed in 1995. Based on this agreement the two governments are signing two-year cooperation programs biannually.
The embassy itself has limited funding for art and culture. Such funds are available through public tenders of the Ministry of Culture or through foundations for international funding based in Russia.
The embassy provides information and disseminates information on study in Russian Federation. In cooperation with CMEPIUS - Centre of the Republic of Slovenia for Mobility and European Educational and Training Programmes each year Slovenia grants limited number of students from Russia to pursue their studies in Slovenia.

In framework of Festival World Days of the Slovenian Language, organised the Centre for Slovene as a Second/Foreign Language each December, the embassy co-funded presentations of Sebastijan Pregelj and Vinko Möderndorfer at the literary evening.
