UK to Romanians and Bulgarians: Don't come here, it sucks.

I don't think Polish migrants have a bad rep in Austria. Turks/other Middle Easterners, because they're very visible.

Serbs/Croats, maybe, but much less than Turks - mostly because the Serbs and Croats combined are the largest group of foreigners/migrants in Austria (in total it's Germans before Serbs).

You get the usual cliché jokes about thieving Poles, but that's about it.

There's a couple of Polish shops in Vienna, though (about as many as Russian ones, I'd say).

I was doing some census research for this as recalled my home town Enfield had one of highest populations of Poles in the UK, but more recently I've heard less Polish and more Russian, Romanian and Bulgarian. I was somewhat surprised to find that the borough is more than 50% non-white British, until I found out that that includes Greeks, Turks and Cypriots, who run all our restaurants and have been here for two or three generations, and basically characterise north London. They seem pretty white and pretty British to me.

And neither are you, Slav.
