Summary/Abstract: Migration is a complex and multifaceted process which has become one of the driving forces behind the strives for social and economic existence in the globalized world we live in. Motivated by various economic, social, and political factors, this phenomenon has been moulding human societies for centuries. In recent times, the Western Balkan region has witnessed a substantial influx of transit migrants and refugees and thus, it has become the main crossroads on their way towards a better life to the Western European countries. Despite the change in migration dynamics over the years, the migration phenomenon still remains a pressing issue for many Western European authorities. Given its gravity, migration management requires a comprehensive and holistic approach as well as enhanced regional cooperation of and with the region of Western Balkans. Namely, good cooperation, regular communication, coordination and exchange of experience and information among Western Balkan countries can significantly contribute to tackling migration challenges and succeeding in effective and efficient migration management.
