Slovenia - Statistics & Facts
The Republic of Slovenia is located in south central Europe and is a member of the European Union. It is bordered by Croatia to the southeast, Hungary to the east, Austria to the north, Italy to the west and the Adriatic Sea to the southwest. It is located along a major trade route, linking the Balkans with the rest of Europe. Recently, as Hungary sealed its border refusing to allow a number of migrants seeking refuge from war and poverty to enter the country, migrants have redirected their route to northern Europe, passing through Slovenia.
