STA, 8 May 2018 - Fresh figures from the Koper and Novo Mesto police departments covering the border areas with Croatia show a significant increase in the number of illegal migrants and asylum seekers, especially this month. 

STA, 8 May 2018 - The first major televised debate of the election campaign on Monday evening showed an overwhelmingly tough stance on migrations among parties that dominate the polls. Most think Slovenia should beef up border security, some called for an EU-wide approach, and a few suggested a more nuanced focus on tackling migrations at the source.

STA, 23 April 2018 – Police patrolling the area along the Kolpa river bordering Croatia in the south of Slovenia apprehended 14 illegal migrants at the weekend. On Sunday an as-yet unidentified body was recovered from the river. 

Most crossings take place in Bela Krajina, with most arrivals now from Algeria, Pakistan and Morocco.
