The war in Ukraine as a challenge to the common European asylum system

Summary/Abstract: The paper analyses the development of the Common European Asylum System within the EU, its weaknesses, and the new measures introduced through the New Migration Pact. A special focus is placed on the migration crisis caused by the Russian military intervention in Ukraine in 2022. The destruction and conflictled to a huge number of refugees, especially women and children, who were forced to leave their homes. The EU responded by launching special protection schemes for Ukrainians and non-Ukrainians who were in the country on the day the conflict broke out. However, solidarity and shared values remain disputed among the EU member states. The legal basis for accepting persons in need of international protection is the Directive on Temporary Protection, adopted in 2001. The paper examines to what extent refugees from Ukraine can count on international protection in accordance with Community law, given the possibility that the military conflict will turn into a long-term crisis. This paper compares the Ukrainian crisis with previous migrant crises and analyses the different ways in which the EU has responded to these crises. In the concluding remarks, the relevance of this issue for the Republic of Serbia is pointed out.
