Abstract
The author is of the opinion that with the fall of the Berlin wall not all obstacles to the free circulation of goods and people were eliminated - neither in Europe nor in other regions of the world, since there are numerous other walls standing in the way of establishing a global world or European order. In that context, the agreement among the members of the European Union on the comprehensive control of “its borders” towards the non-member European countries, is considered by the author as a specific form of a new “curtain”, not “iron” any longer, but electronic. Its function, the author claims, is to divide Europe into the Union and the Non-union, which is harmful for the promotion of the European idea in the spiritual and the material sense in many ways.
