Mass emigration of people from "Slovene ethnical territory" has its roots in the second half of the 19th century, being always directly and indirectly connected with the events in a broader European environment. The emigration intensity varied through time, it was always oriented toward different directions and caused by different factors. The analysis of emigration patterns shows that until the end of the First World War, the emigration was primarily directed toward transatlantic countries, and then gradually oriented toward West European Countries - with exeption of political emigration which was directed toward America and Australia. The conditions in which emigrants were living after they arrived to the foreign country, depended on the country's policy toward immigrants and on the specific bilateral agreements and conventions signed by Yugoslavia and the foreign country. Analysis of immigration policies in various European countries shows a specific character of Swedish immigration policy. The Swedish situation differs from the transatlatic countries, and also from those countries which introduced multicultural immigration policy. The description of emigration and the Slovene people living in Sweden shows the characteristics of the mentioned policy as well.
