    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romani_people_in_Slovenia

    According to the 2002 census, there were 3,246 Romani individuals living in Slovenia.[1] They constitute 0.5 percent of the total population.[2] The Slovenia Roma speak Balkan Romani and Italian.[3] The Roma have been living in Slovenia since the 15th century.[4]

    So did they just now become a threat, or was it for the past six centuries too?

      I remember going to Murska Sobota to see the romani population there. It was quite surprising as the integration was absolute. Romani people would live all together but go to town and to the bars with all other people. Most of them worked in Austria with contracts and all. But still, throughout the country there was much hate towards Romani and Croatians, as well as Italians among the older people.
