Refugees, as a challenge to the modern migration policy of the European Union

Abstract

The article presents migration policy of the European Union and its evolution under the influence of modern challenges, including the problem of Refugee.In the context of recent events, the problem with the number of refugees in the world is becoming more and more urgent. Due to the instability and the state of war, the policy of regulation and management of migration flows has deteriorated and complicated in general. This explains why the issue of solving the problem of refugees and illegal migrants is on the agenda in Europe today. To stop the huge flow of refugees can be possible only by applying the radical changes of the situation in the problem countries, such as Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, etc, by not only fighting against migration, but also implementing appropriate administration.

The increase in the number of terrorist attacks, the social tension among the citizens of the recipient countries, the aggressive refugees’ attacks on peaceful citizens, the criminal action against the police and other executive branches, the mass riots in the developed, democratic countries lead to some correction of the European migration policy. The increased number of refugees in the last 5 years forces the European community not only to help and support the victims, but also to introduce stricter measures to protect their own borders, citizens and political stability.
