On the anniversary of the signing of the Brioni Declaration, young nationalists and identitarians gathered in Ljubljana's city center to demand 'remigration' – the return of migrants they consider incompatible with Slovenian and European identity. The demonstration took place on July 7, 2026, which marks the 35th anniversary of the declaration that paved the way for Slovenia’s independence after the ten-day war. Organizers emphasized the need for a new declaration to address migration pressures threatening the cultural continuity of European nations. Participants carried banners with slogans such as 'Remigration,' 'Slovenia for Slovenians,' and 'Send them back!' They marched through central Ljubljana, stopping at landmarks like the Rudolf Maister monument and the Prešeren Square. Speakers included online influencer Tadej Plohl and activist Janez Marinko from the group Nova smer, who warned of demographic threats posed by higher birth rates among migrants compared to native populations. The event drew attention internationally, with figures like Austrian identitarian Martin Sellner expressing support.
