The embassy located in one of the world's most important geopolitical centres provides a range of consular services, disseminates information about Slovenia in Russia and looks for cooperation opportunities, especially in field of trade and economy. Its tasks also include promotion of Slovene arts and culture through cultural exchanges, promotions, presentations and public diplomacy.


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.

Literature and theatre

The embassy supported public readings and guest appearances of several authors: writers Milan Dekleva, Milan Jesih and Andrej Skubic at Library for Foreign Literature - Rudomino in Moscow. In cooperation with Slovenian Book Agency and Slovene Writers’ Association Drago Jančar, Mojca Kumerdej and Slavko Pregl were present at the Moscow International Book Faire in 2013.

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.
