The third national report on Slovenia’s implementation of different areas of integration policy for beneficiaries of international protection has been published as part of the National Integration Evaluation Mechanism (NIEM) project, covering the time period between 1 January 2020 and 31 March 2021.

The research comprised more than 180 indicators aimed at diagnosing the current situation in the field of integration of refugees in Slovenia. These indicators measure or evaluate different types of data, encompassing legal, administrative, statistical, financial, and other data across all areas of integration including residence, citizenship, family reunification, education, employment, vocational training, health, social protection, access to housing, language learning, social orientation, and building bridges with local populations. 

This third evaluation found that in most focus areas the situation remains the same as three years ago, and in some the situation has worsened. With regard to the indicators measured, no systemic improvement was observed in any of the focus areas.
