Starting from the conceptual basis, grounded in the theory of segmented assimilation, that there is the possibility of the existence of several ways in which different generations of minority communities can be integrated into the society of the country of immigration, this paper aims to determine whether there are intergenerational differences in the integration of Croats in Slovenia. Through participants’ self-reflection on their own perceptions of their integration across the structural, cultural, interactional, and identification dimensions, the results of a 2022 survey (N=300) confirmed the existence of intergenerational differences
