(ANSA) - VIENNA - One Austrian citizen out of five, to be more exact 19% of the population, is of foreign origin: 14% were born in a foreign country, 52% of immigrants feel at home between Klagenfurt and Vienna, but one Austrian out of two now believes that the integration process is not working at its best. These are some of the data highlighted in the 'Integrationsbericht 2013', official national report on integration in Austria.

According to statistics reported by media in Vienna, the largest communities already present within the national territory are those of EU citizens (35%), citizens of the former Yugoslavia, except for Slovenia (32%) and Turkish citizens (17%).
