The strategy, based on inter-sectoral relations, treats migrations in a multifaceted and comprehensive manner over the long term, putting emphasis on better understanding of all aspects of migrations and improvement of measures for their management.

The strategy consists of six horizontal pillars, interconnected by specific aspects of migrations. These pillars include:

- The international aspect of migrations,

- Economic migrations as part of legal migrations, 

- International protection,

- Integration,

- Illegal migrations and the return of migrants,

- A security component.

The strategy defines key Government objectives in migration management. These objectives include, inter alia:

- Addressing the causes of migrations,

- Encouraging the immigration of foreign workers,

- Facilitating rapid and effective procedures for determination of eligibility for international protection,

- Solidarity and burden-sharing amongst EU Member States in line with Slovenia’s reception and integration capacity,

- Ensuring synergistic effects among various players in integration policy design and implementation,

- Detection and prevention of illegal migrations both on the external and internal Schengen borders of the Republic of Slovenia.

The dedicated interdepartmental task force will monitor its implementation through persons responsible for specific pillars, coordinate the activities and regularly inform the Government of the situation.
