Abstract

The EU migration crisis is analyzed as a challenge to European regional security. The used method is historical and comparative. As a result, it can be stated that migration is a global trend which has become especially dynamic in the second half of the 20th. Dynamic migration processes, in their turn, stipulate the importance of efficient ethnic policy of recipient states. Since 2015 the European Union authorities took measures in order respond to the migration crisis effectively, strengthen regional security and enhance borders control. The EU makes further efforts in order strengthen intersectoral cooperation between various political and security agencies responsible for tackling the migration crisis. To a certain extent, the migration crisis of 2015 posed a threat to the European Union unity and security and also raises questions about further integration of the European Union. The migration crisis has demonstrated that the EU needs to efficiently adapt its security strategy to new challenges. It can be concluded that the current migration crisis processes in the EU challenge further European integration and regional European security. Core democratic values have been challenged by the migration crisis, in particular, freedom of movement and civil protection and in order to enhance regional security in Europe one can further utilize the civil society potential and track-II diplomacy instruments.
