Slovenia Weekly: Optimism despite challenges

Slovenia has fully or partially implemented all 182 recommendations, except for two accepted during the third Universal Periodic Review, stated Foreign Minister Tanja Fajon at the fourth session of the UN UPR Working Group on Human Rights in Geneva. She affirmed that the respect, protection and promotion of human rights remain crucial for Slovenia.

Slovenia Weekly also reports that Slovenian tourism reached some remarkable milestones in 2024, outperforming the European and global averages despite a challenging environment. With a 7.5% increase in international arrivals and excellent results in both established and emerging markets, Slovenia continues to strengthen its position as a leading green hospitality destination. This success fuels optimism as we move into 2025.
