Focusing on the case of Bulgaria, this paper examines the trends, causes and social impacts of transitory migration, and especially that of asylum seekers and refugees, in Bulgaria as part of the Central and Eastern European (CEE) region and the broader EU context. It provides a statistical overview of refugee flows since 2012 and indicators of the rates of retention or transition. The paper also describes the legislative frameworks on the EU — and national levels which define the required reception conditions and the procedural treatment of asylum seekers and refugees, and elaborates on their practical application, including deficiencies in the conditions for receiving refugees, procedural flaws and the lack of integration measures. Finally, the paper discusses the impact of these processes on Bulgarian society, including the role of civil society.

Since 2016 within the European Union proposals to reform the common European asylum system have been presented. The migration pressure of 2015 showed that previous provisions had not allowed for a quick and effective response that would meet humanitarian and security challenges. Legal arrangements adopted as a reaction to the migration crisis were of a temporary character and were regarded as controversial by some member states. Therefore, a total remodeling of the common asylum system has been recognized as necessary. The aim of this paper is to prove that despite the fact that the member states acknowledge the validity of the reform of a common asylum policy, prolonged proceedings are caused not by the need to comprehensively protect persons forced to flee and seek protection in third countries, but by the pursuit of protection of interests defined as national interests. Analyses will be conducted on the basis of neorealism, which recognizes states as dominant actors in international relations, who aim to realize their own interests and regard cooperation as reasonable only when it is helpful to achieve these. The fiasco of reforms proves that cooperation within the European Union is treated instrumentally and particular, not common interests are priorities.

This article analyses Polish migration and asylum policies and how they conform to EU legislation. Firstly, it focuses on the most important stages of developing these policies in the EU and their legal and institutional implementation in Poland. Secondly, it discusses the current trends of economic migration to Poland, the challenges of migrant integration, and the attitudes of Polish citizens to migrant workers. Finally, it shows how Polish asylum and visa policies, and ways of combatting illegal immigration are in line with EU requirements. The article also shows that in recent years economic migration has been recognised as positively influencing economic growth and innovation, especially when migration of highly qualified workers is regulated. One of the most important challenges for the future is the development of appropriate integration strategies for migrants coming to Poland.

Refugee resettlement is not new to EU member states. But the EU only accounts for about 10 percent of resettlements globally. Before the 2015 European Council decisions to relocate about 160,000 persons from Italy and Greece only half of EU Member States participated in resettlement programs. Relocation of refugees has emerged as a new form of resettlement as an EU reaction to the growing refugee influx. It is likely to become a permanent part of Common European Asylum Policy. The refugee emergency has intensified discussions about the application of the solidarity principle to pressure member states not yet engaged in relocation to contribute to the joint efforts of the EU. But this has created serious political controversy in many of the new (eastern) member states. The article outlines key elements of refugee resettlement and relocation that have recently emerged in the EU and discusses the prerequisites for the sustainable use of this tool in an unfavorable political and unclear legal environment, with particular focus on new member states. The main goal of the article is to identify factors that need to be considered for the design of sustainable resettlement and relocation programs, considering the aspects of political salience, legal conditions, burden-sharing, and member states’ capacity. The case study of Lithuania presented in this article suggests that such programs need to be carefully considered and adequately funded as there are ample pitfalls which can quickly discredit the idea among the citizens.

The aim of the article is to analyze the assumptions of Poland’s asylum policy in the years 1990-2019. In the discussed period, three phases of the evolution of asylum policy were distinguished: internationalization, Europeanization and anti‑Europeanization. This policy is analyzed through the prism of the evolution of components important for policy making as a public policy. These include: forms of protection for foreigners, Poland’s international obligations, membership in international organizations, infrastructure, institutional solutions, integration policy, the intensity of public debate, and the attitude of Poles towards refugees.

W połowie października 2019 roku Komisja Europejska przedstawiła sprawozdanie dotyczące realizacji działań w ramach „Europejskiego programu w zakresie migracji” z 2015 r. i wskazała na obszary wymagające dalszych działań związanych głównie z nielegalną migracją, przemytem migrantów i handlem ludźmi. KE podkreśliła, że Unia Europejska będzie w stanie skutecznie i humanitarnie walczyć z tymi problemami tylko wtedy, jeśli wszystkie państwa członkowskie wspólnie wezmą udział w tej walce. Nielegalna migracja stała się jednym z najważniejszych problemów UE już w latach 90. XX w., a wzrastająca liczba nielegalnych migrantów zwiększyła poczucie, że pojedyczne państwo nie jest w stanie kontrolować osób przybywających na jego terytorium (Boswell, 2003, ss. 618–620). Europejczycy przerazili się skalą migracji. Zaczęły narastać konflikty i antagonizmy między ludnością miejscową i szybko rosnącą liczbą migrantów. Celem artykułu jest analiza dotychczasowej realizacji postanowień „Europejskiego programu z zakresu migracji” z 2015 roku.

In mid-October 2019, the European Commission presented a report on the implementation of European Agenda on Migration of 2015 and indicated the areas that require further action mainly related to irregular migration, smuggling of migrants and trafficking. The EC emphasized that only by joining forces of all member states the European Union will be able to fight effectively and humanely with these problems. Irregular migration has become one of the EU most important problems since the 1990s, and the growing number of irregular migrants evoked the feeling that a single state is unable to control people arriving on its territory. The Europeans are terrified of the scale of migration. Conflicts and antagonisms between the local population and the rapidly growing number of migrants have begun to increase. The research goal of the article is to analyze the implementation of the 2015 European Agenda on Migration.
