On Victory in Europe Day, we celebrate the liberation of Europe from N**i oppression in 1945, and remember the generation that gave everything to restore peace.🕊️

The shadow of conflict has returned to Europe, with Russia’s brutal war on Ukraine. The UK stands with Ukraine – which is fighting for freedom and sovereignty, just as the Allies did in the Second World War.🇬🇧🇺🇦

Remembering courage, compassion and sacrifice in Suhorje. On this day 81 years ago, RAF spitfire pilot Sgt Edmund Ramsbotham gave his life for our shared freedom. From WW2 to today, 🇬🇧 and 🇸🇮 stand united as NATO allies for peace and security.

We were honoured that Sqn Ldr Martyn Matt represented MOD Boscombe Down, where Sgt Ramsbotham’s 249 Squadron was based during the Battle of Britain.

Manchester 🤝 Maribor. They have a lot in common!

Both proud and dynamic regional cities forging their own paths in business and culture. The Embassy attended a fascinating British Slovenian Chamber of Commerce conference last week where business leaders of Slovenia heard from Subrahmaniam Krisnan-Harihara from Greater Manchester Chamber Of Commerce
about the UK city’s remarkable economic transformation, and how the two cities can learn from each other.

Today, Tuesday 21 April, would have been the 100th birthday of Queen Elizabeth II.

In 2008 the Queen and Prince Philip were delighted to visit Slovenia, and attended events in Ljubljana, Brdo, and Lipica, where she was gifted a Lipizzaner stallion. In her speech at a State Banquet the Queen said: “I hope that this visit will demonstrate the importance the United Kingdom attaches to our relationship with Slovenia, as a partner in Europe and an ally in NATO, with whom we share so many common values and aspirations.”

On this centenary anniversary, we remember and honour the remarkable and beloved legacy of our longest serving monarch.

It was a pleasure to welcome British international and human rights lawyer Philippe Sands for this year’s Festival Literature sveta - Fabula, held under the theme “(co)responsible.” 📚

He discussed his acclaimed book “East West Street”, translated as “Vrnitev v Lemberg”, which explores how concepts of individual and collective responsibility shaped the foundations of modern international justice.⚖️

We asked Philippe what shared responsibility between nations looks like today - respect for international law and principles, shared values, shared interests, and a shared future, but also communities engaging with one another through art - just like at fabulous Fabula.

British Embassy is proud to support Fabula - thank you to Beletrina for a wonderful festival!📖
