EU COUNTRIES AND THE MIGRATION CRISIS: CHALLENGES, THREATS, SOLUTIONS

Abstract

The article analyses the impact of current migration processes on European Union countries and proves that modern migration is unprecedented in scale and brings about radical changes in host European societies. The increase in the proportion of migrants of different nationalities, religions and cultures in EU countries is leading to serious socio- cultural transformations that pose a serious threat to national identities and cultures. EU countries, which have accepted millions of migrants in recent decades, have faced a number of economic, social and cultural problems, leading to a migration crisis and increased social tensions in host societies.The reasons for the increase in the flow of migrants to EU countries have been analysed, and it has been proven that some migrants find it difficult to adapt (or are unable to adapt) to host societies, and therefore cultural and religious assimilation of European countries by migrants is taking place. This is one of the deepest causes of the migration crisis.As a result, most European Union countries are now facing the problem of social, cultural and religious transformations.Over the past 10 to 15 years, European Union countries have faced a serious migration crisis, which poses many challenges and threats to their societies. The fate of the alliance depends on how this crisis is resolved. This article analyses the long-term and short-term prospects and measures that the EU should take to resolve the migration crisis.In order to implement short-term and long-term measures to resolve the migration crisis, it is necessary to develop a strategy that suits all countries in the community.
