Abstract
Along with positive, there are also negative effects of globalization, which were revealed lately in their worst appearances: terrorist attacks worldwide, breakup and creation of dictatorship conflicts causing major refuge crisis, huge migrations caused primarily by economic factor, expansion of cross border criminality due to increased profit and rapid development of communication channels. The first reactions of the affected countries were to increase the security level, particularly the border security in terms of entrance controls. USA and the EU conducted various measures with the aim of preventing all suspicious and unwelcome persons to cross the state border. Along with the strengthening of the proper border control it is necessary to enable and develop cooperation at the regional level in order for measures to be jointly implemented on wider area.
