Algiers and Ljubljana Forge Stronger Energy Ties

Algerian gas now powers up to half of Slovenia’s supply, as the two nations deepen cooperation beyond energy

In a significant move to secure its energy future, Slovenia has extended a key natural gas agreement with Algeria for two more years.

Under the deal, Slovenia will continue receiving up to 500 million cubic metres of Algerian gas annually—meeting between a third and half of its national demand.

Signed in Ljubljana on May 13 by Slovenia’s Geoplin and Algeria’s Sonatrach during President Abdelmadjid Tebboune’s official visit, the agreement marks a deepening of economic and political ties.

Prime Minister Robert Golob hailed the broader cooperation—including pacts on political dialogue, police coordination, and migration—as a model for Mediterranean stability.

President Nataša Pirc Musar highlighted future collaboration in AI, renewables, and even space tech, while stressing alignment on global issues like Ukraine, the Middle East, and UN diplomacy.

As Algeria strengthens its international presence, this partnership positions Slovenia as a strategic EU bridge to North Africa—grounded not only in gas pipelines, but shared geopolitical vision.
