Jerusalem, 17 January, 1993

Your Excellency,

I have the honour to notify to you the following proposals for the conclusion of an Agreement between the Government of the State of Israel and the Government of the Republic of Slovenia on the abolition of visa requirements for holders of diplomatic or service passports in the following terms:

Citizens of the Contracting States who are holders of a valid diplomatic or service passport are free to enter the other Contracting State and stay there for a period not exceeding three months without being required to obtain a visa.

1. Citizens of either Contracting State who are holders of diplomatic or service passports exercising official functions in either Contracting State as members of a diplomatic mission or whose stay there exceeds the period of ninety days shall apply respectively in either Contracting State for the usual and appropriate permits of residence.

2. The same arrangements apply to family members of persons mentioned in paragraph 1, provided they are holders of valid diplomatic or service passports.

The Contracting States shall convey to each other through diplomatic channels, specimens of new or modified diplomatic or service passports, including the data of their applicability, at least 30 days from their introduction.

The present Agreement is concluded for an unlimited period. Either of the contracting States may terminate it at a three months notice. This notice shall be notified to the other Contracting State through the diplomatic channels.

The present Agreement is drawn in English.

If the above proposals are acceptable to the Government of the Republic of Slovenia it is suggested that this Note and Your Excellency's Note of reply will constitute an Agreement between the two Governments for the abolition of the visa requirement for holders of diplomatic or service passports which will enter into force thirty days from the date of Your Excellency's Note of reply.

Accept, Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration.
