Foreigners and Slovenians in 2025

 Slovenia, as an independent Republic of Slovenia with a parliamentary or multi-party system of government, was proclaimed and constituted by a constitution on 23 December 1991. This is also the year of Slovenia's official withdrawal from the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY). The borders of Slovenia, as an independent state, are supposed to be approximately the same as the republic borders within the SFRY. Slovenia is also supposed to be constituted as a national state of Slovenes, although throughout its history it has been the subject of conquest and occupation, as well as migration.

Even during the formation of the independent state of the Republic of Slovenia, Slovenia recognized the Italian and Hungarian minorities. Other nations as minority communities, however, were not. However, all other citizens living in Slovenia, including those from other republics of the SFRY, could apply for citizenship.

Even after the war of independence in 1991, Slovenia was still under the impact of migration flows. Few of them are marital, but most migration flows are of a work nature, or the search for better employment opportunities. Of course, Slovenia also faces the problem of illegal migrants.

According to the latest data, Slovenia has a population of 2,129,052, of which 9.9% are foreign citizens and 14.6% are under 15 years of age. 22% are over 65 years of age. In total, 36.6% of the population is inactive in terms of age, which no longer corresponds or does not yet correspond to employment policies. The officially active population in Slovenia is slightly less than half, namely 1,001,000. Among the officially active population, unemployment is 3.5%.

The number of foreign citizens increased from 199,903 (1 October 2023) to 211,656 (1 October 2024). In 2024 alone, a total of 1,870 foreign citizens were illegally settled in Slovenia. In 2023, there were 2,073. 46,192 foreign citizens illegally crossed the borders of Slovenia in 2024. In 2024, there were 60,595 illegal border crossings. In January 2025 alone, 1,170 migrants illegally crossed the borders of Slovenia. In the same period last year, there were 3,427. In January 2025, 166 unauthorized residences in Slovenia were discovered. In January 2024, there were only 73 unauthorized residences in Slovenia.

Of course, with such data, we can be skeptical when we say that Slovenia still has 89.97% of Slovenians. In addition to Slovenians, there are also a larger number of border nations, Croats (1.81%) and Hungarians (0.31%). In addition to them, 1.98% of Serbs and 1.10% of Bosniaks live in Slovenia, with whom Slovenia does not share a border. And the number of foreign nationalities and cultures on Slovenian soil will most likely continue to increase in the future.

Is BRICKS a threat to the West?

   The artificially created BRICKS currency has been around since 2006. Its function is designed and defined as an attempt to establish a universal currency for international business, which will help BRICKS members to be more secure against the so-called influence of the West. The first group of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa was joined by the United Arab Emirates, Iran, Egypt and Ethiopia in all these years until October 2024. Saudi Arabia is also mentioned. The purpose of this year's meeting of BRICS members was also to increase the number of members, as more than 30 countries were expected to attend the meeting, and they tried to inspire them to accept BRICS in international trade by showing the growth of gross domestic product (GDP) or a measure of economic activity, or one of the indicators of the country's economic development. According to the BRICKS alliance, the G7 (USA, Canada, Japan, France, Italy, Great Britain and Germany) are facing tough times. T...

Which representatives would you vote for?

    We are once again in the time of resounding, glorious elections, when the people chose their representatives. Of course, the selection of people's representatives is always based on how well the candidates presented their programs to the wider masses. Of course, the selection of representatives is also based on what suits the broad masses of voters in these programs . Crowds of voters tend to like hearing stories and promises of their success, prosperity and peace. They are less willing to hear about other people's problems. This was also evident in this year's elections in the USA. A lot of people want to have their own interests and well-being in the first place in their country. Only after their needs are met would they deal with other problems and the well-being of others. Of course, this election story is also conditioned by the existing situation in the country. When a country lives in peace with other countries, it may think about ensuring peace for others as wel...

Politika in draginja

Obeti ali napovedi za letošnje leto spet niso najboljši kot se večkrat pokaže v vsakdanjem življenju. Politični  vrhovi posameznih tako imenovanih razvitih držav so več kot očitno pozabili, da je eden od pogojev za uspešno poslovanje, ki se odraža tudi v naši vsakodnevni košarici za preživetje, pravzaprav obdobje miru, ne pa vojne. Vojno stanje ali vojna nevarnost prinaša namreč dodatne obremenitve državljanov v obrambne namene. Samo vojno stanje pomeni uničevanje, ne samo življenj, ampak tudi premoženja in seveda tudi onemogočeno poslovanje. In seveda tudi manj pritoka denarja v državni proračun in večje državne izdatke. Tako se rušilna in uničevalna narava vojnega stanja projicira v rušilno in uničevalno moč gospodarstva in s tem tudi našega vsakdana. Vojna pomeni pomanjkanje dobrin in s tem tudi draginjo že osnovnih življenjskih potrebščin zaradi uničenja tovarn in polj. Vojna pomeni draga bivališča, saj jih je veliko ali celo večina poškodovanih ali uničenih. Vojna pomeni tudi ...
