The Honorary Consulate of Romania in Žilina (Slovak: Honorárny konzulát Rumunska v Žiline, Romanian: Consulatul onorific al României la Žilina) is an honorary diplomatic mission of Romania in Slovakia. The consulate is located in the north-west of Slovakia, in the regional city of Žilina, and is responsible for the Žilina and Trenčín self-governing regions. Currently (2024), it is the only honorary consulate of Romania in the Slovak Republic.[1][2][3]
