As a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council until the end of 2025, Slovenia has reaffirmed its support for Morocco's autonomy initiative for the Sahara. «It is a solid foundation for a definitive solution» to this regional dispute, declared Slovenia's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Tanja Fajon, on Friday, April 18, in Ljubljana, during a joint press conference with her Moroccan counterpart, Nasser Bourita. She also commended Morocco's serious and credible efforts to resolve the Sahara issue. Slovenia had previously expressed this position in the Political Declaration of June 11, 2024, adopted during Fajon's official visit to Rabat. On Friday, both ministers reiterated their support for the UN-led political process and the exclusivity of the United Nations in resolving the conflict. They also voiced support for all Security Council resolutions, including the latest, Resolution 2756 of October 31, 2024. Fajon further reaffirmed Slovenia's longstanding backing of efforts to reach a just, lasting, and mutually acceptable political solution based on compromise. Both officials also expressed continued support for MINURSO. Earlier this week, Estonia, Moldova, Croatia, Hungary, and Spain also expressed their backing for Morocco's autonomy plan for the Sahara.
