Republic of Slovenia and the migrant crisis: history and perspectives

The European continent and the world have faced the most massive migrant crisis since the end of World War II. In order to see the consequences, it is necessary to analyze the reasons caused by the migration crisis. The reasons are numerous: social, economic, continuous conflicts and war primarily in the countries of the Middle East, organized crime, religious extremism, terrorism and many others. The beginning of the migrant crisis is associated with revolutions which arose in 2011 in the Middle East, known as the "Arab Spring" and intensified with the wars in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Libya, etc. The European
Union and Southeast Europe faced a number of challenges which required urgent measures for protecting these countries from the migrant crisis. The war in Syria began in 2011 and even then a large number of Syrian people moved to some nearby states and camps in Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, and Egypt. The consequences of the migration crisis most affected the security of the states in Europe. The European Union was not sufficiently prepared for preventing the emerging situation. The Republic of Slovenia, starting from 2015 onwards, continuously prevents migration waves, including all states, governmental, and non-governmental organizations, taking a number of measures and activities for preventing all kinds of threats and consequences which caused the migrant crisis.
The above mentioned indicators will be analyzed through some numerical indicators: the number of migrants per year, the number of asylum seekers per year and asylum seekers which were rejected annually, as well as the total number of migrants who have transited through this country. The results obtained through the analysis of the numerical indicators will be presented in tables, graphs, and with the scientific method of the Pearson correlation coefficient, we will see the dependence among the numerical indicators and from all this, we will give the
Recommendations and conclusion of this scientific paper.
