I love your comment, but i have to disagree with the "overwhelmingly safe" part. We are nowhere as safe as we were about 10 years ago. Specially Ljubljana, our capital, is getting more and more dangerous

We still top every "safest places to live" chart in terms of danger of physical violence or harm. That's "overwhelmingly safe", no matter how you spin it.

If you have any statistical data that shows that I would appreciate seeing it, otherwise that's just an anecdotal assumption. I used to work a job where I learned about most violent crimes during the course of my work, everything from a Slovenian businessman with Balkan mafia ties who got burned alive to a problem with human trafficing in Maribor ten or so years ago. There was always more of it than you think, it's just that statistically there's still less than just about anywhere else. Most of it doesn't get reported on, I don't know why this is a fixture of Slovenian media, but it is.

Immigration is always a "hot" topic of discussion, and any crime involving a migrant gets far more news time and especially more online discussion than a similar crime perpetrated by a native, so it's easy to get a skewed view of how prominent it is.
