The Fight Against People Smuggling in the Region with Special Reference to the Republic of Croatia and Republic of Serbia

Events in the world in recent years, in particular war conflicts, have led to a strong migrant wave of population from North Africa, the Near and Far East to Europe and the United States. Particularly affected are transit countries such as the Western Balkan countries and others who have found themselves on the Balkan migrant route. This further led to the deepening of the political and economic crisis in these countries, the increase in the danger of terrorist acts and the significant increase in crime rates. Migratory movements followed the increase in specific forms of crime such as people smuggling and human trafficking. The international community and states have tried to respond to the challenges, risks and threats mentioned by adopting sustainable legislative solutions, multi-agency approach and international cooperation at the bilateral, regional and multilateral levels. Countries from the former Yugoslavia have also established bilateral and regional cooperation in the fight against smuggling of people and other most serious forms of organized crime, including the Republic of Croatia and the Republic of Serbia as neighboring countries. In the final part of the work, some proposals of de lege ferenda were presented with the aim of suppressing smuggling of people and related crimes.
