From September 2015 to March 2016, Slovenia was a transit country for almost half a million people who needed food, clothing, residence anf basic heath care on a daily basis. During this time, due to specificity of the situation and multiplicity of people, the state of exception was established, which was later called huminitarian corridor. Thus, by agreement between the countries, entry and transition for refugees and migrants were allowed without any valid documents. Facing and controlling the sudden arrival of migrants required activation of the whole national security system, along with a wide range of stakeholders. In solving the refugee crisis participated representatives of the local community, numerous non-governmental and humanitarian organization, volunteers, as well international assistance and solidarity of other EU Member States were indispensable. In my master's thesis, I explore whether state actors focused primarily on the security aspect and regulation of migration flow, while NGOs were focused on the humanitarian aspect and emphasizing the protection of human rights.
