As this year's Guest of Honour of the FKS, Slovenia organised around 80 events in its pavilion during the fair, with a total of 250 events. A number of Slovenian events also took place in Frankfurt itself. The highlights of the Slovenian programme - under the motto Honeycomb of Words - were poetry, philosophy and deep reading in a digital, instant-solutions-oriented age.

According to the host country, no other host country has ever aroused such curiosity, enthusiasm, almost euphoria, as Slovenia. It is also usual for the pavilion of a host country to be quite empty, but this was not the case with Slovenia. With its pavilion and its programme, which focused on the Ljubljana Manifesto on Deep Reading, Slovenia proved that it is on a par with the world's scientists and experts, that "it is not inferior". The Reading Manifesto saw the light of day at the right moment, when the world was becoming aware of what digital screens and artificial intelligence were causing.

The bilingual anthology of Slovenian poetry Mein Nachbar auf der Wolke was very well received by the Germans. The anthology has sparked interest in individual authors and has developed into one of the central books of Slovenia's hosting of this year's FKS. The anthology has also sparked interest in individual authors. There is already interest in translating the book into other languages, including Italian.
