Notes
1 For example in Sanders (2002), and Cancedda
(2005). In her 123 page Skilled Migrants Integration
Assessment Model, Cancedda uses the term
host(ing) country/society sixty-nine times. Upon
recommendations for the final formulation of this
European Commission document (Žitnik 2005b:
3-4), the phrase host/hosting society/country was
mostly replaced with the phrase receiving society/
country.
2 For example in Razpotnik (2004: 37 and subsequent
pages), and in Gosar (2005: 29).
3 In the last Slovenian census, only 6.38% of immigrants
with Serbian ethnicity living in Slovenia
were older than 65, while 16% of the general Slovenian
population were older than 65. Statistics
for members of other former Yugoslav nations in
Slovenia are similar to those for Serbians.
4 In the middle of the past decade, the need for immigrant
workers in Slovenia suddenly grew. The
Slovenian economy simply could not function
without them. As a result of Slovenia’s weak planning
mechanisms and its disability to cover labour
deficits in certain categories, Slovenia was unable
to fill the gap internally. As a result, Slovenia issued
some 17,000 working visas for citizens of
third countries in 2004. In 2008, the Republic of
Slovenia passed a law limiting the number of work
permits for foreign citizens to 24,600, which did
not even come close to covering the needs of the
Slovenian economy during 2008. For this reason,
the government again raised the quota the same
year. (For more on this issue see Gombač 2007;
2009.)
