In 1999 the National Assembly adopted Resolucija o imigracijski politiki Republike Slovenije [Resolution on the immigration policy of the Republic of Slovenia]. The resolution also contains a section on integration, stating that  one of the goals of Slovenian  integration policy is freedom as a right to expression of cultural identity, respect of integrity and dignity of each individual to maintain his or her culture in accordance with the law and fundamental values of the Republic of Slovenia.

In 2010 the Government of the Republic of Slovenia adopted Nacionalni program ukrepov za Rome za obdobje 2010 - 2015 [National Programme of Measures for Roma in the period of 2010-2015]. One section deals with awareness raising and fighting discrimination, providing activities for fighting discrimination and elimination of prejudices and stereotypes.

The National Assembly adopted Resolucija o nacionalnem programu preprečevanja in zatiranja kriminalitete za obdobje 2007–2011 [Resolution on the national programme on elimination and reduction of criminality in the period of 2007-2011]. The section on urban criminality determines adequate policy against the culture of violence and against all types of inequality as a part of the solution when fighting this type of criminality.
