Balkanski aspekt migracione krize u Evropi
Balkan Aspect of Migration Crisis in Europe

Summary/Abstract: A particular challenge for the European Union was the influx of a large number of refugees who came from various directions, “The Balkan Route” from Turkey, through the Balkans to Western Europe. The largest number of refugees came from Syria, Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan and other war-affected areas. It should be emphasized that even before this wave of migrants in Europe, there was already a widespread view that “excessive immigration”, including those from one EU member state to another (internal migration), is a key problem of local economies, that is, the “taking over” jobs from the local population. Unbundling and unwillingness were the basic characteristics of the EU’s response to the migrant crisis. In fact, it is difficult to speak of a “European response” since states withdrew unilateral acts and acted individually, turning the EU into a debate club that was unable to deliver resolute and clear decisions in time, let alone implement them in practice.
