Czech traces in Slovenia

The Embassy of the Czech Republic in Ljubljana actively searches for the legacy of the Czech citizens who in the past used to work in the territory of today´s Slovenia.

The purpose of this section is to commemorate the famous Czech persons who used to live and work in Slovenia and who, thanks to their artistic, scientific, or other legacy, became known in the Slovenian society (and not only there). The Czech Embassy in Ljubljana will be gradually publishing portraits of the selected Czech compatriots with the aim to show that their achievements are still alive.

The Czech Embassy in Ljubljana hereby asks the broad public to share with us any further information, comments or suggestions about the Czechs living in Slovenia in the past who might be included in this section.

Please send your suggestions to the email veronika_benesova@mzv.cz or tell them to us via phone number +386 1 420 24 64.
