摘要：Migration movements have been occurring during the entire history of mankind, while the main reason for abandoning the national country or ethnic community was a quest for a better life and/or rescue from persecutions and violent conflicts. Unlike legal migration, which takes place according to the laws of the migrants’ country of origin and destination country, there is illegal migration that reflects special circumstances and that is defined as each movement of the population from one country to another that does not take place under the laws of those countries, including an illegal stay of foreigners in a given country. Recently, European countries and, in particular, the Member States of the European Union and the Western Balkan states (states in transition) are facing a migrant and refugee crisis, caused by the uncontrollable and outrageous volume of migrants’ arrival. The causes of the current migrant crisis in Europe are different, but also very similar to previous: escape from the war suffering, extremism, and terrorism, the search for a better life, abandonment of failed and non-functional governments, etc.
