Abstract

Having in mind current significance of the issue of irregular migration in Europe, the author of the paper analyses international documents relevant to the creation of common minimum standards in the area of the right to asylum in the European Union (hereinafter: EU), as well as to the arrangement of the rights and obligations of the states in the cases of readmission. In that sense, the documents adopted by the United Nations, Council of Europe and EU relevant to the questions of asylum and readmission are presented in the paper with special focus on the Directives of the EU in this field. Since the Republic of Serbia is one of the countries that are facing the issue of migrants, asylum seekers and returnees upon the Readmission Agreement, certain amount of attention is also given to its international obligation regarding this matter. Finally, the author of the paper presents recommendations and suggestions for the improvement of current state in this area with the purpose to ensure the protection of the right to asylum as one of fundamental human rights on the one hand, as well as the fulfilment of international obligations derived from the Readmission Agreement on the other.
