Slovenia Halves Illegal Migration While Montenegro Drowns in Crime and Insecurity!
Did you know that Slovenian police recorded only 9 illegal border crossings in the first six months of this year? Yes, you read that right — nine! That’s more than twice less than the 21 recorded in the same period last year.
Most illegal migrants come from Afghanistan, Morocco, and Bangladesh, with the southern border with Croatia, especially Novo Mesto, being the hotspot where about 72% of illegal crossings happen. By the end of May, only 8 foreigners expressed intent to seek international protection, which is 60% less than last year.
Slovenia clearly decided to put an end to illegal migration, while neighboring Montenegro is sinking deeper into chaos with crime and insecurity. MANS, an NGO, claims that recent murders prove the state is nowhere near the promised victory over organized crime. Years of delayed reforms, lack of real vetting and accountability, and weak institutional capacity have led to citizens not being able to count on safety.
While Slovenia successfully controls its borders, Montenegro struggles with mafia, corruption, and chaos in the security sector. MANS warns that reforms are needed immediately, not as political marketing and empty promises.
In short, while one country solves the illegal migration problem, the other is drowning in its own issues. Is Montenegro ready to face reality or will it keep sinking?

Slovenia cuts illegal migration:
- 9 illegal crossings in first 6 months of 2024.
- 21 illegal crossings in same period 2023.
- Most migrants from Afghanistan, Morocco, Bangladesh.
- Novo Mesto – hotspot with 72% of crossings.

Montenegro in trouble:
- Recent murders show state’s failure against crime.
- Years of delayed reforms and lack of vetting.
- Institutions can’t guarantee citizen safety.
- Need for concrete actions, not empty promises.
Slovenia showed how it’s done, Montenegro? Looks like it’s still learning. Or maybe it doesn’t want to learn.
