5.  The overall security threat level for U.S. 
personnel and interests in Ljubljana, Slovenia is 
considered to be low.  Slovenia has a low crime rate 
and violent crime is extremely rare.  Nonetheless, 
visitors should take normal security precautions and 
are requested to report any suspected surveillance of 
themselves or U.S. facilities to the mission security 
office. Visitors should avoid carrying large amounts of 
cash and jewelry on their person and are urged to use 
safe deposit boxes available at most hotels. While very 
uncommon, there have been some incidents of purse 
snatching or pickpocket, usually at night outside of 
bars.  The threat from intelligence services remains 
viable, and official visitors should take appropriate 
measures to protect classified or sensitive 
conversations and documents.  Conversations on non- 
secure lines and cell phones should be considered 
subject to compromise.
