Abstract

Based on Eurostat’s data, the number of asylum seekers in EU member states from Republic of Kosovo (RKS) was 66,885 citizens during 2015, ranking Kosovo as the fourth highest in the world (following Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq). Consequently, these data are considered to be noticeably worrisome for the country. The purpose of this article is to determine the causes of this major flux of migrating asylum seekers from RKS to EU countries. Within this context, the research includes analysis of relevant statistics which monitor this situation, including the applicable laws that result in this unfavourable occurrence. The relevant comparisons of this situation have been made with regional countries and borders. As a result, it confirms some of the main causes of migration in RKS and offers practical recommendations for the eradication of this phenomenon in the future.
