Summary/Abstract: The Balkans, both as a geographic and cultural region of southeast Europe, has raising number of emigrations in the past few years. This is especially prominent amongst young people who, commonly after graduation, decide to travel abroad in search for better opportunities. This phenomenon is also common in the rest of the world due to the globalisation effects on the travelling expenses. Travelling has become affordable to more individuals in the last decade than ever before. Yet, this is not the only cause of increased migration. The idea of “escape” is becoming common among young people from across the Balkans. It is evident that youth’s search for their economic prosperity, career advancements, and improvement of other life affiliations outside their home county is on the rise. The situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina is the most alarming in the region.
