Sažetak
Migration, or labour mobility, is an important economic phenomenon. Migrants flow from regions with high unemployment and/or low incomes to more prosperous regions, attracted by higher wages and/or better employment prospects. The article explores the situation with labour markets and labour force mobility in South East Europe. xisting high unemployment will probably not be a major barrier to possible entry of SEE countries into the EU. According to the experience of several countries (Ireland and Portugal for example), integration into the EU, because of accelerated economic growth and development and the increased entry of foreign investors, can be a very successful way of solving the problem of unemployment. Also, there is no reason to estimate the number of people willing to migrate to Western Europe. Economic development in SEE is essential in the palliation of poverty and limiting desire for migration, but it is not a sufficient condition of success. Economic development is nevertheless crucial because it increases the chances of finding work, and work is the capital the people in SEE depend on most.
