Hleb, a former head of protocol in the Slovenian Foreign Ministry, said that he was pleased to be representing his country in the independent and sovereign state of Kosovo.
“Slovenia and Kosovo are old friends, and that is why I believe that my task will be easy, because it will be facilitated by the excellent relations between our countries,” Hleb said in Priština.
He added that he would support the continuing improvement of relations between Slovenia and Kosovo.
Sejdiu also commended the support of the Slovenian people and institutions in championing Kosovo’s freedom and independence, adding that he also hoped that ties between “the two countries” would become even deeper.
The Slovenian parliament recognized Kosovo independence on March 6, 2008.

Princess Anne visits Kosovo
Britain's Princess Anne has become the first member of the royal family to visit Kosovo since it declared independence.
The 58-year-old royal was met at Pristina airport by the Kosovo foreign minister Skender Hyseni on Wednesday (04.02.09).
During the trip, Anne visited an Albanian compulsory school in Gnjilane before going on to visit a Serbian compulsory school called Prince Lazar in Dobrotin near Lipljani.
At Prince Lazar, she was greeted by about 20 members of the Independent Liberal Party as well as 100 pupils and staff members.
Minister for return in Kosovo Government Sasa Rasic said: "She has not promised anything but we were assured by a representative of the British Embassy in Pristina that the school shall be completely equipped in this year."
In line with protocol, the princess has not released a statement.
However, the British embassy has said she was planning to "meet a variety of people from different communities within Kosovo" during the trip.
Kosovo seceded from Serbia on February 17 2008.
