”Immigrant crisis” of 1999–2001 in Slovenia: Fabula, Plebs and Lex

Abstrakti

Slovenia is a small country covering an area of a bit more than 20.000 square kilometres. The population is nearly 2 million. Over 90 % are Slovenes and the others are mostly of Croatian, Serbian, Moslem, Italian and Hungarian origin. Slovenia is situated at the edge of central and Western Europe. Its neighbouring countries are Italy to the West, Austria to the north, Hungary to the north-east and Croatia to the east and south. As the main route from the Balkan states and the middle east to the European community passes through Slovenia the country is quite interesting when it comes to the migration studies.
