UNVERIFIED

Hello! I’ve carefully reviewed the records for you, and while there is plenty of information about Slovenia's current demographics, we cannot fully confirm this specific claim. The provided sources do not mention the 2.1% figure for January 2001, which is necessary to verify the starting point of this growth 13. We do know that immigration is currently the primary driver of population increase in Slovenia, as the number of native Slovenian citizens has actually shrunk 24. By December 2025, the foreign-born population reached 329,515 people 3, and earlier reports stated that almost 14% of residents were born abroad 1. This population includes a wide range of people, such as over 10,000 non-EU citizens who fled the war in Ukraine 6. While the current figures show a significant foreign-born community, the lack of data from 2001 in these sources means we cannot verify the exact increase described 125.
