A record 4,568 asylum requests were filed from January through November this year. A total of 15 persons were granted asylum status.
The reason for such a low share of approved requests is that a vast majority of asylum seekers during the period in question left Slovenia before the procedure was completed. The Interior Ministry said that as many as 98% of the asylum seekers left Slovenia before the entire procedure of processing their requests was concluded.
