Our Story
Built for Chinese Students
SLOREX was created because navigating European higher education from China is complex — language barriers, unfamiliar bureaucracy, different academic systems, and the pressure of relocating to a new country. We built a team that has been through every step of the process and knows exactly how to make it work.
Dedicated exclusively to Chinese students and their families
Fluent in the specific requirements of Chinese Ministry of Education degree validation
Direct connections to current students for honest, firsthand testimonials
Legal advisors and academic consultants under one roof
Continuous support across the entire degree — not just the application phase
Post-graduation guidance on the 12-month EU residence extension
Founded by Krešo Antonić
Established in Maribor, Slovenia in 2026, SLOREX was founded with a single clear goal: to make European higher education genuinely accessible for Chinese students. Krešo Antonić built the agency around transparency, legal expertise, and a comprehensive care model — combining everything a student and their family needs into one trusted partner.
We have successfully guided numerous students through the complete enrolment and visa process, and we measure our success not by applications submitted, but by students who graduate and thrive.
