Twenty-one Slovenes who asked for repatriation from Venezuela have arrived in Slovenia. Six repatriates arrived in December and fifteen in January.
It was mostly young families that asked to live in Slovenia.
The repatriates have mostly settled in towns where they are expected to find a job easily.
Although many do not speak Slovenian, they have already started learning it.
There are up to 1,000 people of Slovenian descent in Venezuela, but not all of them qualify for repatriation.
