Cultural cooperation
The first legal basis for cooperation in the field of culture was the Agreement on Cooperation in Culture, Education and Science between the Republic of Slovenia and Russian Federation, signed in 1995. Based on this agreement, the two governments signed a few biannual cooperation programmes.
In late 2019 the Programme of Cooperation between the Government of the Russian Federation and the Government of the Republic of Slovenia in Culture, Science, Education, Sports and Youth Policy for 2019–2021 was signed.
Cultural cooperation between Slovenia and Russia, historically rooted in Slavic ties, was traditionally strong, centered on intergovernmental programs, art exhibitions, and performances organized by the Russian Center of Science and Culture, Ljubljana (RCSC). However, following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Slovenia revoked key agreements on cultural centers, leading to the closure of the RCSC in 2022.
