The article deals with the Slovene public's perception of the issues of migrations, integration of immigrants, and multiculturalism. It derives from the concept of integration as a two-way process of intercultural communication, which generates a new quality for achieving social cohesion. The views of Slovene public opinion are arranged under three migration topics: 1. general attitudes towards migrations and migrants – migrants as a threat or an essential labour market corrective, 2. positioning Slovenia in contemporary globalised migration trends, and 3. integration policies as an instrument for shifting internal social borders.
