Summary/Abstract: The annual academic forum of National and International Security Department this year is devoted to regional security and reforms in the European Union. Foreign academics and researchers from Poland, Macedonia, Serbia, Russia and other countries are taking part in this broad forum.Why have we chosen this topic?Today, in the first quarter of the 21st century, it appears that the world is on the verge of tolerance of risks and threats. The range of these threats is enormously broad - from the danger of wars between countries and coalitions, to violence among people within states. The world is in a period of devastated global equilibrium and a slowly developing new equilibrium. The temporal distance between these two states opened a place for the manifestation of chaos.In this increasingly difficult to predict world, the European Union has not been so far under such a criticism as the present since its creation. It comes from the ultimate right and the ultimate left, pass through the center and involve more and more ideologists and representatives, even the classical left and center-right political parties. But even a glimpse of their criticism does not show a way out of the crisis. It does not show how to preserve what is valuable in politics, economics and democracy that Europeans have undoubtedly enjoyed and continue to enjoy and how to transfer it into a future European Project.

- Summary/Abstract:This report focuses on crisis processes in the European Union, which give rise to the need for reforms in several areas: Greek debt, deteriorating relations with Russia, "refugee" flow, increase in the number of terrorist acts, the referendum in the UK. The author stresses that there are very few positive examples for consensus on long-term measures against future threats. Crisis prevention through deep anticipating reforms is something new in the European policy. However, the EU would not allow "refugee crisis" to remain unused.

- Summary/Abstract:The use of energy resources and economic instruments as well as military effectives and political power in international politics is characteristic of the great powers to the countries and regions where they have interests. The interests of the US and Russia to the Balkans are even more pronounced in the use of instruments of influence, primarily as a result of the fact that the Balkans is a region that is very important and interesting for both countries. The main issue or dilemma arises when examining the pragmatic use of instruments by both countries, and especially the real scope and intensity of their use is in fact the result thereof. Namely, whether the resources deployed give support and result in the creation and implementation of pragmatic policies or whether they are used in vain. In this work, using the example of the Republic of Macedonia and the attitude of the citizens of Macedonia we will try to do a social construct of political pragmatism concerning the cost-effectiveness of instruments and resources used in creating public opinion and policy approach towards the citizens of Macedonia. This dilemma having an impact in the current political and security moment when Macedonia and the Balkans are in crisis and multilayer continuous endangering of security. Moreover, the not making out of the European Union concerning the safety impacts of European security space is perceived in all its negativity. The answer to the dilemma should be a multidisciplinary approach of many social aspects and the combination of theoretical models of the foreign policy of the United States and Russia, their realistic approach to the Balkans, especially in Macedonia and the perception of citizens resulting from a proper or improper use of the instruments. Above all, it is important to note that the created perception of the real positive support by using these instruments is the basis for creating public opinion about the level of friendship to the region or Macedonia, and for the infantile terms of European security policy, which follows exclusively someone’s strategic policy, ignoring their own interests. At the same time, it represents an archetype of accepting traditional values region or attempted insertion of new ones that are contrary to the perception of social norms and behaviors on the Balkans and Macedonia. Realizing the European security policy in this context, we recognize pale attempt to influence the current security risks and threats, which the European Union hardly manages. In this context, USA and Russia take the primary and dominant role in the security on the Balkans, confronting in the region and using their instruments to influence.

- Keywords:multiculturalism; forced migration; EU and illegal migration;
- Summary/Abstract:Main Western leaders (Merkel, Sarkozy) recognized the crisis of multiculturalism several years before the current situation of rising tension within the EU caused by increasing migration pressure. The report focuses on the economization and securitization of forced migration to Southeast Europe and the European Union as a whole. Migrants are innocent victims of conflicts arising from unjust social and political order, military interventions, civil wars, oppressive regimes and ethnic tension caused by rich countries and their elites. Finding an adequate solution to the problem of forced migration and overcoming the violence that lies at its base should be a shared responsibility of the whole humanity. Political and economic elites cannot solve this problem – by their actions they contribute to its deterioration. The agreement between the EU and Turkey is a great success only to Erdogan.

- No. of Pages:8
- Keywords:migration; economic migrants; external borders; valid document;
- Summary/Abstract:EU migration policy remains a serious problem, both in financial terms and the security of Member States and the Union as a whole. Inability to limit the migratory pressures exacerbates relations between Member States and causes extreme statements and defensive positions of their leaders, which block taking fast and effective solutions to limit and return of illegal economic migrants and those coming from countries where there is no military actions and civil war. After the failure of the mechanism for displacement and relocation, hopes are directed to the Agreement with Turkey to hold the wave of migration and to accept economic migrants against the price of a number of conditions and demands. The report examines art. 4 pt. 1 of Regulation (EC) № 2007/2004 on the establishment of FRONTEX, which states that "External borders may be crossed only at border crossing points and within the fixed opening hours", which the migrants undoubtedly violate, and the requirement to possess valid document for crossing the border. Moreover, the admission of this crime raises smuggling, human trafficking and civic associations for detention of migrants.

- Summary/Abstract:A long time, Europe is trying to find the strength to stay with the same values preserving individuals' rights and freedoms. Global concerns are put before the national. In such an environment there is no place for nationalist / populist ruling political structures. But a wave of migrants caused by tectonic movements in the Middle East and north Africa, as well as terrorist attacks in Paris, Ankara, Istanbul and Brussels, has created Europe to live with a "new normality". That feeling of fear that terrorist attack will happen again, changed the face of Europe. In this context, the governing structures are aimed at defending national interests, disregarding the global. This situation does not correspond to policy led by the EU. In a situation where we need to be united, there is separation.We can mention several reasons that led to it: The policy of integration of minorities in national societies. That policy has led these people to be excluded from the system or can not be integrated, and found solace in terrorism; Neglect of issues related to security challenges. Not investing in security structures. Different perception of security challenges such as: brothers bombers from Brussels, for the US they are terrorists, for Belgium they are criminals. The purpose of this paper will be based on analysis of the terrorist attacks in the last 15 years to determine the need to strengthen public - private partnerships, the timely exchange of information and identifying potential terrorists through profiling of high risk clients in the financial system, especially banking system. Through this platform of cooperation we will not guarantee that every terrorist attack carried out by a wolf - a loner or a cell of a terrorist organization who decided to die blow up with home made explosives will be prevented, but it will help in early identification of suspicious activities which must not be neglected by the security services. We mention this because for the last terrorist attacks in Belgium and Paris, law enforcement agencies had information but they ignored them thinking they are frivolous.

- Summary/Abstract:Following the events in the last few years in Europe and the world and the behavior of the European Union in terms of geopolitics, some analysts are beginning to ask the following question: Ultimately, whose project is the European Union?

There is a crisis in the vision of what EU will do with himself. Security breaches are breakthroughs in general in the idea of the European Union. In this context, we can summarize: EU countries in any case have the resources to conduct security policies, what they lack is the political will of the leadership of Europe to state as sovereign and subject of security.

- Summary/Abstract:Regionalization and decentralization in the European Union are leading trends. In many Member States of the Union reforms occur periodically to optimize the administrative-territorial structure and increasing the efficiency of regional and local authorities. Regionalization and decentralization are not ends in themselves processes. Depending on the nature of the polity, regional and local authorities in many European countries have important rights and obligations in the field of security. The attempt to decentralize security in Bulgaria is unsuccessful and ineffective, consisting mainly in maintenance of public order at municipal level through structures of the so-called municipal police in cities with regional division. Legislative changes are needed to adopt clear and explicit powers of the regional authorities (if in the near future form any) or regional governors and local security authorities.

A need appears to refine the details in legal status and functional purpose of both referred types of operating institute.

- Summary/Abstract:The topicality of the study is determined by the major changes that have occurred in recent years in Europe, reflecting on the security of any country. This requires enactment of major reforms in all public systems, including security system. The actual in this case is determined by the lack of political will in Bulgaria over the past 25 years to make serious structural reforms. Creation and restructuring of institutions within the security system are processes that ensure protection of life and well-being of citizens, the main priority of the state. Efficient management and operation of the security services in solving a problem must be clearly stipulated in legislation, which gives a prerequisite for well-structured services with clear authorities. In recent years, a number of legislative changes were made in the security sector. This paper examines the strategic aspects of structural changes in the security system, and in particular: the creation of a new legal framework as a prerequisite for adequate and timely reaction of the services in a specific crisis situation.

It turned out that another service the Ministry of Interior 570 has parade but not required capabilities. The fact that they have formed voluntary squads in the regions around the "groove", says it all.
