Although there is most certainly no doubt that the refugees entered Slovenia from Hungary, Slovenia's police has no evidence to prove it. The refugees will therefore remain at the alien centre in Postojna until further notice. It is not clear what will happen to them now – will they return to another safe country or get permissions for movement in Slovenia.
If Slovenia is convinced that it has sufficient evidence that the group did indeed arrive from Hungary, it could launch a formal procedure for returning the refugees to Hungary. It could also issue the refugees temporary permissions for free movement in Slovenia.
AI: Good news, but disappointed with Slovenia
Amnesty International Slovenija commented that it was good news that the Syrian refugees will not return to Hungary. The organization's representatives spoke to two of the above-mentioned refugees on Monday. The refugees reportedly said they did not want to go back to Hungary. Amnesty International did express disappointment that Slovenia wished to forcefully return the refugees to Hungary, despite their calls and the calls of other NGOs and around 1.300 individuals.
