De propagandisten hadden het niet alleen over 'een laatste mogelijkheid', het land moest worden opgebouwd en op de emigranten rustte de verplichting assistentie te verlenen. Remigranten werd verder gouden bergen in het vooruitzicht gesteld.

In 1946, the new utopian state of Yugoslavia began a campaign to convince [Yugoslav] emigrants across the world to return to their homeland where they would be able to help with the foundation of a new communist society. Not only did the propagandists talk of 'a final opportunity [to return home]', the country had to be built and it was the duty of emigrants to assist in this. Returning emigrants were promised gifts of gold: these included a home, a job; in short, a good life. They were also told that this would be their final opportunity to return home to their homeland. If they did not return now, they would never again be able to visit. This was a once-only offer, the fare for the trip was paid and everything organised. Those who travelled were allowed to bring furniture and supplies with them on the train. On 21 September 1947, a transportation departed from the Netherlands, which carried around 200 Slovenians from Limburg. The transportation was organised by ex-mineworker and café-owner Anton Marusa. The Yugoslav government made available passenger and freight carriages expressly for this purpose. As the train passed along its journey through each country the wagons were hooked up to a new locomotive. The train's final destination was the town of Kamnik. For many, the remigration project resulted in great disappointment as promises of work and housing were not delivered on. In the very same year, (1947) the first attempts were made to flee Yugoslavia. During the years 1946 to 1948, 2,788 emigrants returned to Yugoslavia from overseas and at least 38,355 returned from Western Europe.

V novi in utopicni Jugoslaviji so leta 1946 izvedli propagandisticno kampanjo, da bi prepricali jugoslovanske priseljence naj se vrnejo v domovino in pomagajo ustanovitvi novo komunisticno druzbo. Komunisticna oblast je odhod v Jugoslavijo izseljencem predstavila kot se njihovo "zadnjo moznost za vrnitev v domovino." Izseljence so prepricevali o njihovi odgovornosti, da pomagajo zgraditi novo drzavo. Jugoslovanska oblast je izseljencem, obljubila bogata darila (kot sta dom in sluzba), ki bi omogocala lagodno zivljenje. Kdor se v tem casu ni zelel vrniti v domovino, bi mu ta pravica bila odvzeta za vedno. Odhodi v Jugoslavijo so bili organizirani in brezplacni. Izseljenci so s seboj lahko prinesli pohistvo in ostale potrebscine. Prvi vlak z dvestotimi Slovenci z Juznega Limburga je proti Jugoslaviji krenil 21. septembra 1947. Odhode so organizirali nekdanji rudarji in lastnik kavarne Anton Marusa. Jugoslovanska vlada je na razpolago dala potniske in tovorne vagone. Ob vstopu v vsako novo drzavo so vlaki zamenjali lokomotivo. Zadnja postaja vlaka je bilo mesto Kamnik. stevilni izseljenci so bili ob prihodu v domovino razocarani, saj jugoslovanska vlada ni izpolnila obljube o zagotovljeni sluzbi in domu. se istega leta (1947) so nekdanji izseljenci poskusili pobegniti z Jugoslavije. Med l. 1946-1948 se je v Jugoslavijo vrnilo 2,788 izseljencev iz prekomorskih drzav in najmanj 38,355 izseljencev z Zahodne Evrope.
