This project seeks to strengthen the knowledge base on irregular migration flows in, from and through the Western Balkans and to ensure cross-regional cooperation and coordination on the issue, including between countries of origin, transit and destination. The proposed activities include regional research on irregular migration and a conference establishing a dialogue between countries of origin, transit and destination.
The analytical research on irregular migration flows in, from and through the Western Balkans intends to provide an up-to-date and comprehensive report which can help to guide governments in the development of regional and national policies to tackle irregular migration. It will include a chapter on Unaccompanied Minors and other vulnerable groups.
The conference will facilitate the dialogue between the migration and criminal justice authorities in countries of origin, transit and destination with the aim of enhancing cooperation in regard to stemming irregular migration flows. The conference will build a cooperative network of migration and criminal justice actors and seek to identify recommendations on effective responses to the challenges posed by transnational crime in the context of irregular migration.
