On June 26, 2025, an event was held to discuss recent amendments to Slovenia's Foreigners Act. A key change relevant to asylum seekers is the new provision allowing them to obtain a single work and residence permit.

Under certain conditions, this enables individuals to transition from seeking international protection to becoming migrant workers. This represents a major legislative shift in Slovenia, one that promises to stabilise and improve the lives of many migrants.

Boj proti diskriminaciji, neenaki obravnavi, spodbujanje socialne pravičnosti in inkluzija so ključne vrednote demokratične družbe. Kljub obstoječim pravnim osnovam za preprečevanje diskriminacije pa je obseg drugačne obravnave manjšinskih skupin v Sloveniji zelo problematičen (Bajt, Frank, Jalušič, & Ladić, 2023).
