Abstract
The migrant crisis in Europe became a serious security
Challenge with a great impact on the relations between the EU members and their partners. From the idea of a Europe without borders, today we are facing erecting wire fences on the borders. At the same time of the ongoing migration crisis, several terrorist attacks occurred in European soil that triggered governments to reconsider
Engaging their militaries to prevent illegal trespassing of refugees with suspicious background. The Macedonian authorities followed the trend of the changing role of the European militaries in dealing with the migrant crisis. The use of the army units to help police on the borders and erecting wire fence was only after such measures were already taken from other EU members and in accordance with the Macedonian laws. It was a demonstration of the army’s ability to adapt to the new paradigm, but also evidence that the Republic of Macedonia gave a significant contribution to the European safety.
Keywords: EU, migration crisis, border security, Macedonian army.
