History of diplomatic relations
The Soviet Union maintained diplomatic relations with the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia throughout the twentieth-century, with ambassadors appointed up until the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, and thereafter with the Russian Federation recognised as its successor state. Yugoslavia had also begun to break up by 1991, with Slovenia one of the first former constituent states to vote for independence. The Basic Constitutional Charter on the Independence and Sovereignty of the Republic of Slovenia was adopted on 25 June 1991, a process sparking the Ten-Day War and the subsequent establishment of full independence from Yugoslavia. Russia recognised the Republic of Slovenia on 14 February 1992, and official diplomatic relations were established on 25 May 1992. The Slovenian Embassy in Moscow was opened on 24 June 1992, and the Russian Embassy in Ljubljana on 14 October 1992.[3] The first Russian ambassador to Slovenia, Aleksey Nikiforov, was appointed on 23 December 1994.[3]
