Slovenia applied for membership of the oldest pan-European organisation on 29 January 1992, and was admitted to the Organisation on 14 May 1993. In the meantime, Slovenia has become a successful member state with an acknowledged high level of respect for human and minority rights, as well as established democratic institutions and the rule of law.

Ambassador, Permanent Representative
