Abstract
Migration in Europe does not affect all European countries equally. Due to their geographical position, to different destinations of migrants and to the settings of the EU asylum and migration system, Member states which are situated on the external borders of the Union are affected more severely than the others. This was proven with the massive influx of migrants in 2015/2016, when these States witnessed a significant burden upon their migration and asylum systems that overstretched their capacities to coop with the mixed influx, bringing into question EU’s asylum and migration system and above all EU’s solidarity and burden sharing of responsibilities among EU Member states. This situation deeply impacted upon neighboring transit countries, which in the past years were involved in different activities led by the EU or Member states that sometimes-pursued conflicting goals. In concrete, EU led activities in North Macedonia have been focused on nurturing a more humanitarian approach towards migration and asylum, focusing on capacity building and humanitarian assistance to reception facilities. On the other hand, bilateral cooperation between North Macedonia and EU Member States (ex. the Visegrad countries), has promoted a more security-oriented approach, emphasizing the protection of external borders and prevention and fight against illegal migration, and smuggling of migrants. Therefore, these diverse activities are contradictory and incoherent with the principle of EU’s external solidarity. In base of this, the presentation will examine the superposition of legal regimes in the country in the field of migration management and prevention and fight against irregular migration and will examine the different types of police cooperation in the country and their impact upon human rights. All this will entangle the real scene behind EU’s solidarity towards North Macedonia.
