Slovenia’s prime minister signed a joint letter by 19 European leaders calling for reduced irregular migration, stronger action against people smuggling and increased returns of people without the right to stay in the EU. The signatories stressed that any measures must comply with EU law and international conventions.
According to the source, this is Slovenia’s political position at EU level rather than an immediate change to residence-permit or entry procedures. In the longer term, such a policy direction may support stricter measures concerning irregular migration and people without a right to stay, but the letter itself does not introduce new requirements for ordinary relocation applicants. It primarily concerns people in the EU without a lawful basis of stay, rather than those arranging their immigration status in advance. Prospective movers may note the broader policy direction, but should not treat the letter as a new application rule.
