The Organization for Security and Co-operation (OSCE) has been an important multilateral forum since its beginning in the detente period during 1970s. Small countries have, through their diplomatic activities within international relations, importantly influenced the process of OSCE formation and its future development. The Republic of Slovenia declared independence in 1991. Afterwards it established a proactive foreign policy approach within OSCE. For my case study I analysed Slovenian presidency of the Forum for Security Co-operation (FSC), OSCE, in 2015. For this purpose I chose the theoretical framework of foreign policy activities of small states. I analysed the latter in the context of different definitions and approaches in small countries studies. Despite the difficulty of finding common features in foreign policy of small states, I was able to highlight some of their common key activities regarding foreign policy. Slovenian priorities for the Forum presidency were analysed by means of OSCE documents and publicly accessible speeches of Slovenian diplomats. My case study findings are supported by an interview conducted with the former Slovenia Ambassador Dr. Andrej Benedejčič. The results of my analysis show that Slovenia is asserting its national security interests within FSC by emphasizing increased cooperation between states, and is acting in accordance with the theoretical framework of the foreign policy of small states.
