Sažetak
The main goal of this research was to establish whether there is a potential correlation between immigration and terrorism for 27 European Union countries, two EEA countries (Iceland and Norway) and Switzerland from 1990 to 2017. Research implemented two nonparametric tests (Spearman`s rs and Kendall`s ) to verify the main hypothesis of no statistically significant relationship between immigration and terrorism. Evidence showed no statistically significant correlation (5% level of significance) between immigration and total terrorism for 28 out of 30 sample countries and no statistically significant correlation (5% level of significance) between immigration and terrorism incidents for 27 out of 30 countries. This research has its limitation such as a low number of observations and aggregation of terrorism data. Future scholar work could try to disaggregate domestic and international component of terrorism to establish whether there is a correlation between transnational terrorism and immigration or is domestic terrorism better predictor
