UNVERIFIED
Recent data supports the 2025 figure, but the 2001 starting point is unconfirmed.
“MichaeloKeeffe claims the foreign-born population of Slovenia rose from 2.1% in Jan 2001 to 15.5% in Jan 2025.”
Hello! I've carefully reviewed the records for you, and the verdict is UNVERIFIED. While the recent data for 2025 is quite close to the claim, we don't have the necessary information to check the starting point from 2001 . According to EUROSTAT, Slovenia's foreign-born population reached 329,515 by December 2025 . This figure is consistent with the 15.5% mentioned, especially since immigration has been the primary driver of population growth while the native citizen population has actually shrunk . Another report from the national statistical office mentions the figure is 'almost 14%', though it doesn't specify a precise month for that statistic . However, because the provided sources do not include any data from January 2001, we cannot confirm the 2.1% figure or the total growth over that period . Since we are missing that historical context, we can't say for sure if the entire claim is accurate .
