NOUA RUTĂ BALCANICĂ DE MIGRAȚIE

Migration is a complex issue, with many facets that need to be weighed together. The year 2015 will probably remain in the migration history as the year that registered a record number of refugees. The closure of the Balkan Route used by migrants to reach Western Europe from Turkey and Greece has forced migrants to find alternative routes and for this reason, since February 2018, Bosnia and Herzegovina is facing an unprecedented wave of migration. The growing number of migrants and refugees who have started using the new Balkan route to reach an EU member state has raised deep concerns about a humanitarian and security crisis. The current system no longer works. With the new Pact on Migration and Asylum, the European Commission proposes a fresh start on migration: building confidence and striking a new balance between responsibility and solidarity.
