The ministers are expected to discuss the situation in the eurozone, particularly in indebted Greece, as well as the EU's 300bn investment plan.

France having suffered a terrorist attack in Paris last month, Mramor and Sapin will also broach the fight against financing terrorism but also against tax evasion.

The ministers will then hold a news conference at 2 PM in the Vila Podrožnik mansion in Ljubljana.

The French minister will also meet President Borut Pahor and Slovenian central bank governor Boštjan Jazbec, the ministry said in a press release.

Sapin's visits comes less than a month after Slovenia was visited by Alain Richard, the French foreign minister's representative for economic ties with the Balkans.

His meetings with Slovenia's top officials on 2 February focussed on the situation in the Western Balkans and economic cooperation.
