Learning the Slovenian Language and Preserving Slovenian Culture in Bosnia and Herzegovina



Relations between the Republic of Slovenia and Bosnia and Herzegovina are close, also due to the rich history of migration between the two countries. This article focuses on the collaborative aspect between various institutions and organizations involved in teaching the Slovenian language and/or preserving Slovenian culture in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Particular attention is paid to the inclusion of higher education, as the teaching of Slovenian at this level came to a halt for nearly two decades following the dissolution of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
Keywords: supplementary classes of the Slovenian language and culture, lectureships of the Slovenian language abroad, Slovenian language, Slovenian cultural associations, Bosnia and Herzegovina
