The article deals with the phenomenon of labour migration of the Serbian population to Slovakia, which has started to record a sharp increase in the last few years, especially since 2015. The paper is the result of anthropological field research, which was intended to find out the main causes and push factors of migration from Serbia, as well as the main reasons and pull factors for coming to Slovakia. The aim of the paper is to explain why migrants from Serbia, who historically preferred the countries of the centre in the context of world-systems theory, or in this context the countries of Western Europe as the destination countries of their migration process, are nowadays in increasing numbers choosing to migrate to semi-peripheral countries, such as Slovakia. The issue is examined through the prism of theoretical concepts of dependency theory and world systems theory aimed at explaining the phenomenon of migration from a periphery country (Serbia) to a semi-periphery country (Slovakia). The main argument of the paper consists of the assertion that certain economic reasons may represent the driving force of labour migration, but certain socio-cultural aspects play a key and often decisive role in the choice of the destination country, often to the detriment of economic factors.
