Migration as such is currently an evolutionary phenomenon, which is most pronounced in recent decades. Political, security and socio-economic aspects are one of the causes of migration. The reason is also climate change and therefore it can be ranked among the current challenges of civilization. The issue of migration became known after the outbreak of the migration crisis in 2015. Currently, after the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, it has again become known to the public as well as the academic community. Following Russia's attack on Ukraine, EU member states began to face a new wave of migration. The onslaught on the borders is visible in Slovakia, and for this reason the country had to adapt legislation in this area. The aim of the article is to examine the impact of the Ukrainian crisis on Slovakia's migration and asylum policy as a result of changes at the European level after the outbreak of the military conflict in Ukraine. By analyzing documents, we examine changes in the legislative migration and asylum policy of Slovakia. Through qualitative research using the empirical-analytical method, it identifies the shortcomings of Slovakia's migration and asylum policy, which appeared after the outbreak of the war in Ukraine.

Migration policy of Slovakia, its development and formation before and after the accession of the Slovak Republic to the European Union is still a little explored area. Examining the Europeanisation of migration policy and its shaping is important because of the changes that have taken place after joining the European Union. The aim is to analyze the development of migration policy before and after Slovakia's accession to the European Union. At the same time, however, capture the migration concept of Slovakia and its changes that have occurred and thus point to the degree of Europeanization. Slovakia's accession to the European Union required the application of various and above all fundamental changes in the area of migration policy. For this reason, it is possible to speak of Europeanization by means of several theories of Europeanization. As a result, Slovak migration policy has been europeanised, thus adapted to European legislation and institutional adaptation.
