МИГРАЦИЈЕ КАО БЕЗБЕДНОСНИ ПРОБЛЕМ
MIGRATION AS SECURTY ISSUE

Summary/Abstract: Migration is one of the characteristics of people as human beings. From early beginning people moving from one place to another. With the development of human society, this phenomenon gets more and more complex and organized. Migration, as a contemporary social phenomenon, attract the attention of almost all social sciences. Angle and definition of this phenomenon depends on the scientific field to which it belongs. Illegal migration, associated with the smuggling of migrants and trafficking of human beings, which are criminal acts of transnational organized crime, significantly increased interest in security science for this phenomenon. In addition, impact which have organized criminal groups, the security threat related to migration spreads to other forms of endangering security. In contemporary political and security situations, which are marked with a global presence of Islamist terrorist networks, migration is recognized as a serious threat of spreading transnational terrorism. Migrant wave that hit Europe this year, among other reasons, is caused by the action of so-called “Islamic state”. Hundreds of thousands of people from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan fled in fear of Islamist fanatics’ terror. However, the terrorist organizations are among migrants, by their members, causing a variety of security problems on the migrant routes. That proves arresting members of terrorist organizations who were infiltrated among migrants and serious doubts that one of the suicide bombers who participated in a terrorist attack in Paris, France arrived as a refugee from Syria. In addition, such a large number of migrants from a different cultures and religions, domicile population in the receiving countries consider as a serious threat to identity. That leads to the growth of extreme-right organizations which are special form of security threat. Leaders of the European Union failed to recognize the extent of the security threat timely and did not show a willingness to make plans for joint response to the threats posed by the mass immigration of migrants. On the summit that was held in Malta in early November were created conditions for finding a common European response to the threat. The Republic of Serbia, through which from the beginning of the crisis passed around half a million refugees, has responded well so far and has managed to avoid serious security incidents in its territory. In the future, functioning of the very important joint response with other European countries is of essential importance. Also, commitment to the protection of national and state interests, if it comes to closing borders or other procedures that other European countries may be taken at the expense of Serbia, is equally important.
