Abstract

The main problem discussed in the paper is the existence of a causal relationship between certain criminal phenomena in the Republic of Serbia and the European Union, on the one hand, and the migrant crisis, on the other. A special problem is represented by certain criminal acts that can be classified as a direct consequence of migrant population movements. The time frame is the period of the past ten years, during which the migrant issue has been considered one of the most topical issues in the European Union. The aim of the paper is to indicate the existence of a correlation between the migrant crisis and intensive criminal activity in the countries of the European Union, as well as in the countries located on the so-called migrant route. The hypothesis of the paper is that intensive migrant changes contribute to a change in the demographic picture and additional criminalization of Europe. The co-authors use analytical, historical, comparative and normative methods. The research results partially confirmed the hypothesis that the migrant crisis has an impact on the demographic picture of Europe, but the part that relates to the additional criminalization of Europe was not proven, because no parameters were established that could confirm this.
