ABSTRACT
The paper is analysing the conflicting trends between non-economic immigration flows and persistent unemployment rates of denizens within the last decades in EU countries. Some demographic and labour market migration theories are challenged. Abortive integration policies keep on disregarding ethnic and class resources of immigrants, thus rising the social costs for governments. Undocumented immigration, residency and work is increasing within service sectors, as well as grey economy prosper. At the same vein the access to ethnic economy and/or selfemployment of immigrants remains restricted and unsupported by governments in EU.

The present conflicting migration trends can hardly be resolved within national immigration policies, but rather require global interventions and international solutions. In the short run, national governments could promote higher mobility of denizens within the common labour market of EU. They should give assistance and sustain ethnic organizations and ethnic economy. Governments could supplement the human resources of denizens (recognising theirs education and skills), as well as giving them access to voting rights, in order to facilitate naturalisation.

ABSTRACT
“Since greatness in literature is beyond my reach I devote myself to writing the truth about myself and the world around me, the truth, such as seen through my eyes. I can only give what I have. I had neither time nor fervor to aspire to something more.” These are the modest words of Bert Pribac on his literary efforts, quoted from “Zakaj pišem pesmi” (Why I Write Poetry; Svobodni razgovori, X/3, 1993, 8). As Pribac points out, his poetry reflects his perceptions, sensations and viewpoints on issues and people. Therefore, his poetry enlightens us as to his spiritual growth from his youth to the old age.

Youthful playfulness is cut short by the enforced decision to follow the path of wanderers, beggars and perpetual pilgrims of the world. Consequently, the beginnings of his life as an emigrant are characterised by pain and despair, caused by the realisation that he lost his home, friends and the most intimate moments of his life.

After his desperate hope for suitable life under the Southern Cross dies, the poet is driven to console himself with dreams. Dreams alone can conjure up the homey atmosphere of his beloved Istra. However, the Istra of his youth acquires the strongly idealised features, reflecting his wishes and hopes. It was a long time before Pribac abandoned his dreams of the lost paradise, forgot his grief and accepted the fact that Istra shows no greater kindness to her children than Australia shows to hers. To be brought face to face with the cruel and inexorable reality that denied him the opportunity to live in harmony with the spirit and the truth was a harsh blow for the poet.

But as he was suffocating in the dark abyss of loneliness and hopelessness, he discovered a path his instincts told him would lead to salvation. He realized his aspirations weren't directed to Istra or any other place in the world. Emigration wasn't what brought him far from home. Displacement was a direct result of his human nature, tainted by sin. This is one of the main themes od his second Australian period. Consequently, he'll be a stranger everywhere in this world, as his kingdom wasn't on Earth. Pribac discovered God: God is the one, who can give him shelter, as God is and will remain his home.

But God cannot be reached directly, but rather only through love for everything in his creation and the absolute devotion of soulmates in the vortex of religious eroticism. In his paradise rediscovered, Pribac found a soulmate with whom he could share the holiest experience of our being.

ABSTRACT
Between 1945 and 1991, the Slovenian political emigration was under observation from both the repressive agencies and the Communist Party. The Party and other political organisations kept a close eye on emigrants’ activities and tried to suppress their influence in Slovenia and in emigrant circles. The „iron-fist“ period was followed by a „mellower“ period. At first, the term political emigrant was used for everyone who left Yugoslavia (e.g. in 1950’s). Later on, the term was used for an increasingly small circle of intellectuals and political activists. Repression against them was to be used until the fall of communism. Yugoslavian and Slovenian legal framework condoned such treatment, especially in stemming the information flow. In spite of this, emigrants stayed in contact with their home country, but such contacts often caused persecution or enforced isolation. The well-preserved archive materials enable us to examine behind-the-scenes planning and activities of the Party, pertaining to the Slovenian political emigrants.

ABSTRACT
The contribution is about in the Slovene history overlooked Slovene intellectual, publicist and professor Josip Vuga who lived from 1918 until his death in Bohemia. As a great advocator of the Slavic and Yugoslav idea, and of Slovene-Czech friendship Vuga was active in bringing to realization those ideas until his health allowed him to. While he was, during his studying years, that is before the Great War, acquainting exhaustively the Czechs with circumstances in Slovenia, Vuga has been after the war, beside his professorial work, active (he was as well among the founders) in the Czech-Yugoslav committee in the frame of which he held numerous lectures an events, and was publishing the newspaper Jugoslovansko kolo. After the year 1920 Vuga focused in his contributions mainly on acquainting the Czechs with the problematic of Slovene minorities.

ABSTRACT
Until today there were in Slovenia three intensive waves of dealing with the returning of emigrants: at the end of the seventies, in the nineties, and at present. All discussions have shown that in Slovenia we can hardly speak of classical returning of emigrants, as the conditions that define the migration circle of which part are returned emigrants (emigration-immigration-remigration), were not fulfilled. The presented empirical studies indicate that quite many people left the Slovene environment during the after-war period. The share of returned emigrants is proportionally small and under expectations. We must add to this the fact that in all the years there is no trace of active state policy that would encourage the returning. That is valid for all varieties of emigration and returning, including the brain drain.
