Sažetak
Speaking of freedom of movement as a fundamental human right, guaranteed by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the constitutions of democratic countries, we often ignore the fact that it is an ‘unfinished’ (apparent) right (Ghosh, 2015). Every person is free to leave the country of origin and migrate to another. However, no country has an obligation to permit immigration into its territory (except in the case of refugees, asylum seekers, family reunification, etc.). Therefore, freedom of movement is a problematic issue. It includes both the components of emigration and immigration. While the first is confirmed as a fundamental right, the second is not. Following these assumptions, the unpublished part of the survey results on the attitudes of students at the University of Split is discussed. The right to immigration as a (fundamental) human right is in focus. Statistical significance with other, possibly related, attitudes of students is discussed as well. These were examined regarding the context of the recent European migrant crisis. The research questioned the desirable forms of assistance and integration, reasons for supporting integration processes, the estimation of an average sociodemographic profile of immigrants and refugees, and seeing them as security and other (cultural, political) threats. The research was conducted in 2019 on a convenience sample. The issues thematically related to (1) attitudes about immigration, immigrants, and refugees, (2) estimation of the sociodemographic profile of these two groups, and (3) the intensity of social distance towards them are part of the book entitled BORDERS - The attitudes of students at the University of Split on immigration, immigrants, and refugees (2020). The monograph is co-signed by the group of authors, namely Brčić Kuljiš, M., Popovic, T., Relja, R., and Lunić, A.
