Feixas Vihe also met Interior Minister Vesna Györkös Žnidar.

"I believe the conditions for refugees in Logatec are very good and I was delighted to see how they were living here," she said on the sidelines of the visit.

She said that most of the refugees had to stay in Greece for a long time before coming to Slovenia, so she was happy with Logatec, as the conditions in Greece were far worse.

During the visit, she talked with the refugees there, who said they hoped for a quick solution to their status, so that they can begin looking for an apartment, a job and start leading a normal life in their new homeland.

Feixas Vihe said that different countries organise refugee accommodation in different ways, each by its own capacities. But any kind of concern for the refugees is better than what they had to endure in their countries and on the refugee route.

When asked about whether to expect a new refugee wave and whether the Balkan route will open once again, she said that given that the conflicts in Syria and Iraq were not over yet and many still lived in danger in Afghanistan, no one really knew what to expect at the moment.

"It is important, however, that governments prepare contingency plans in case of an increased refugee influx in their country," she added.

She said that the Slovenian government had already outlined its contingency plan and that other countries were doing the same, but it remained to be seen how prepared they would be in case of an increased refugee wave.

A single country cannot solve the refugee issue, which is why it is important that the responsibility is divided between all EU member states, she said.

"We are glad that European countries are discussing the number of people they would accept as part of the relocation programme. We are also glad that some countries have decided to accept people as part of the permanent resettlement programme," she said.

"Being a refugee is always hard, as they are far from their home and they still do not feel at home in Slovenia. Let us hope they do soon," she said.

Feixas Vihe also met Foreign Ministry State Secretary Sanja Štiglic and Civil Protection representatives, who assured her that they were preparing a plan to be ready for a potential new refugee wave.
