“…The opposite attitudes of political actors at local, entity or state level are so much in dissonance that this obviously cannot lead to any harmonized institutional proceedings and decrees. An additional challenge for Bosnia and Herzegovina is its history of a recent (1992)(1993)(1994)(1995) inter-ethnic, inter-religious and civil war in which Muslims fought Christians; and Middle East mujahideens 14 who entered BiH during the war and committed severe atrocities against Christians. Around 330 of its citizens were fighting with the so-called Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and were deported to BiH during the last couple of years.…”

“…The same argument has been given by Varshney (2009:278), who claims that ethnic conflicts are a more regular feature in pluralistic democracies. After 9/11, many see immigration to be in direct connection with possible Islamisation and the radicalization of societies (Rakic et al,, 2012), perceiving it as a threat to their own security. Security is principally concerned with freedom from threat, and thus, whatever constitutes a threat is, de facto, a security issue (Buzan et al, 1998:23).…”

When migratory movements from the Middle East and North Africa towards Europe started in 2011, and in even greater numbers in 2015, few could envisage the scope and number of spheres that would be affected. Migrations labelled as critical, meaning that immediate solutions needed to be found, have brought clashes between Brussels and national states to the surface. These clashes over quotas of immigrants that each of the EU members had to accept have led to security issues related to the functionality of the Schengen Agreement. The countries of the Western Balkans, predominantly Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) and Serbia, but also North Macedonia and most of all Turkey – although not members of the EU – still carry this burden exhausting their capacities. As for BiH, this new reality is causing political and security frictions in the country itself. Upon taking office, von der Leyen announced a new Pact on Migration and Asylum, but little has emerged on what this pact would entail. This leaves border countries and asylum seekers alike to grapple with a failed system. The following paper aims at giving a crosssection of the MENA migratory status in the countries most affected by this phenomenon. Special focus is given to Greece, as the first EU/ Schengen entry point on this route toward the EU, as well as Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) and Serbia, as these countries now serve as a sort of parking lot for thousands of immigrants stuck on their way. The paper tests the hypothesis that those two countries are the last barrier of unwanted immigration before their entry into Hungary and/or Croatia.
