The Press and Public Affairs section supports the Embassy and the Ambassador in all media aspects of their work. Here is a brief overview of what we do:

Press Work

A large part of the section work is to brief journalists on UK Government priorities and to deal with media planning and organisation during events. We also seek to place articles by ministers, the Ambassador and senior officials in the Slovene press. We monitor the press and produce a daily press review which is used internally as well as by the FCO in London.

Public Diplomacy Work

One of our most important activities is what is known in the Foreign Office as "Public diplomacy". Public diplomacy is the process of achieving the FCO's Strategic Framework through engagement with the public overseas. To achieve this, we work very closely with every section in the Embassy, and partners such as the British Council, on events and projects throughout the year that promote Britain and its positive influence in the world.

The Web

A significant aspect of our Public diplomacy work is the embassy website. Again, we report on bilateral activities and events, with a particular interest for events hosted by the Ambassador. We also produce a free monthly newsletter in Slovene, which highlights bilateral political, cultural and social news for our subscribers. If you would like to subscribe to our newsletter, please email info@british-embassy.si.

Public Enquiries

The Press and Public Affairs office is also responsible for all the phone or email enquiries that come into the embassy from the general public. For any queries, please see our contact details on this page.
