United States Ambassador to Slovenia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The diplomatic post of United States Ambassador to Slovenia was created after the disbanding of Yugoslavia and the United States recognizing the new nation of Slovenia on April 7, 1992. In August of that year, the American Embassy in Ljubljana opened and E. Allan Wendt officially took over as Ambassador. Wendt was followed by Victor Jackovich (1995 - 1998), Nancy Halliday Ely-Raphel (1998 - 2001), Johnny Young (2001 - 2004) and Thomas Bolling Robertson (2004 - 2008). Yousif Ghafari went to confirmation hearings in the Senate in April 2008.^[1]
