Slovenia diaspora in Bosnia and Herzegovina

People from Slovenia in Bosnia and Herzegovina meet here, city by city. Each community is a neighbourhood, not a crowd, so if yours is missing, start it.

Communities by city

How many people from Slovenia live in Bosnia and Herzegovina?

According to the United Nations, 1,730 people from Slovenia live in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Therefore Bosnia and Herzegovina ranks number 7 among the destinations of the Slovenia diaspora.

In total, 73,600 people from Slovenia live abroad, and about 2% of them live in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

However, the figure counts migrants, not their children born here. The real community is therefore larger.

Where to meet people from Slovenia in Bosnia and Herzegovina

No community for people from Slovenia exists in Bosnia and Herzegovina on Compatri yet. However, one first member is enough to open one in their city.

As soon as a community starts, its meetups show up on the events page, with the date, the venue and the number of attendees.

Compatri follows cities such as Sarajevo, and each one can host its community.

Joining the Slovenia community in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Compatri brings diasporas together where they live. First, you choose the community of your city. Then you discover what its members organise: meals, parties, afterworks or mutual aid. Finally, you message compatriots who share your interests.

You can also host your own meetup: a meal, an outing or a party. It then appears to members of your city, and you follow sign-ups from your account.

Your exact location never appears: other members only see an approximate area. In addition, joining a community and attending events costs nothing.

Slovenian Statehood Day in Bosnia and Herzegovina
