A delegation of the Advisory Committee on the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities is visiting Slovenia this week (2-6 March 2026) to evaluate progress made in the protection of national minorities.

The delegation is holding meetings in Ljubljana, Murska Sobota, Lendava/Lendva, Novo Mesto, Občice and Koper/Capodistria with representatives of the government, local authorities, national minorities, as well as civil society to discuss the implementation of the Framework Convention in the country.
