The Act on the Promotion of Immigrant Integration contains a provision on the Government Integration Programme. In accordance with it, the Government will decide how the promotion of integration will be developed at national level by formulating a programme that includes the objectives and measures for the duration of the Government term (Government Integration Programme, VALKO).

During the term of Prime Minister Marin’s Government, VALKO was be replaced by a report on the need to reform the promotion of integration, which was submitted to Parliament in spring 2021.
