Migration and refugee crisis - risks for the EU and the Republic of Croatia

Migracijska i izbjeglička kriza su tema koje su postale aktualne još od Arapskog proljeća, nakon kojeg je na tlo Europske unije, a tako i Republike Hrvatske počeo pristizati nekontrolirani broj migranata i izbjeglica. Novonastala situacija tražila je odgovor, tako je donesen veliki broj dokumenata na razini Europske unije, kako bi se proučili razlozi migracija, ali i suzbili nezakonita kretanja i potencijalne rizike koji dolazi uz njih. Dolaskom migranata i izbjeglica na tlo Europske unije i Republike Hrvatske, postavilo se pitanje njihovog statusa, integriranja i prihvaćanja, ali i pitanje potencijalnih rizika koji dolaze ukoliko ne budu prihvaćeni. Na kraju, postavlja se pitanje aktualnih migracijskih politika i u kojem smjeru će one ići, s obzirom da se situacija vezana uz migrante i izbjeglice stalno mijenja i traži mogućnost prilagodbe i Europske unije, ali i država članica poput Republike Hrvatske.The migration and refugee crisis have been topics that have become actual since the Arabic Spring, after which an uncontrolled number of migrants and refugees began arriving in the European Union, as well as in the Republic of Croatia. The new situation required an answer, and the result was a enormous number of documents that were adopted at the level of the European Union, in order to study the reasons of migration, but also to combat illegal movements and the potential risks that come with them. With the arrival of migrants and refugees on the territory of the European Union and the Republic of Croatia, the question of their status, integration and acceptance was raised, but also the question of potential risks that come if they are not accepted. Finally, the question arises about current migration policies and in which direction whey will go, given that the situation regarding migrants and refugees is constantly changing and required the possibility of adjustment of the European Union and member states such as the Republic of Croatia
