The Slovene Police actively co-operate on a bilateral level with law
enforcement authorities of neighbouring countries on a national,
regional and small-border level, especially with solving issues linked
with illegal migrations, readmission of foreigners, measures for a more
effective protection of the State border, providing the infrastructure at
border crossing points and undisturbed flow of traffic, and with the

prevention of illegal migrations and assists them with the establishment
of the National Bureau of Interpol in Sarajevo.
