Summary/Abstract: This paper seeks to identify some aspects of migration cooperation between the Visegrád Group and Western Balkans countries during the European migrant crisis of 2015. The considerations behind this paper are motivated by the empirical evidence that the cooperation between the two regions is essential to tackling the migration issues. Indeed, the cooperation and harmonization between the different approaches can be a plausible solution to improve the management of the issues raised from migration. However, it seems that the cooperation could only be adequately achieved with the enlargement of the EU to include the countries of the Western Balkans, mainly Serbia and the Republic of Macedonia.
