The Slovenia Times (15 September 2023)

Slovenia's sole asylum centre, based in Ljubljana but with a branch in Logatec, is overflowing as the number of migrants crossing into the country continues to rise. It is currently at several times capacity and many migrants are accommodated in hallways or in housing containers brought in to alleviate the situation.

The main building in the Ljubljana borough of Vič is designed for 350 people but currently over 900 are housed there. Another 350 are in Logatec, which is primarily intended for vulnerable groups such as minors, three times the number that had been designated as acceptable by the local community.

"In Vič we've expanded capacity with housing containers and set up a tent. But these are just temporary solutions," Katarina Štrukelj, the director of the Government Office for the Support and Integration of Migrants, told the Slovenian Press Agency.
