Abstract		The epidemiological situation of syphilis and gonorrhoea in Slovenia in 1994 is the subject-matter of the present paper. During the past twenty years, syphilis was on a distinctive decline in Slovenia. In 1994, 36 cases of early syphilis were registred, representing an icidence of 1.82 per 100 000 inhabitants and equaling the situation 12 years ago. A continous decline in gonorrhoea was also registred, the incidence in 1994 bein 10.7 per 100 000 inhabitants, but due to known reasons this data are not reliable. Since Slovenia borders the crisis territories of former Yugoslavia, sexually transmitted diseases demand particular attention of public health authorities and also close cooperation of venerologists from the countries of the Alps-Danube-Adriatic region.
