Abstract
The European Union and most of the international community saw the first refugee problem as a problem of Syria, later as a crisis in Turkey or its neighboring countries, but soon it all became very clear that the refugee issue is a global crisis, a crisis that cannot be ignored, nor to forget the war in Syria which began in 2011, although not with such intensity as it is today. Even then, a great number of the Syrian population moved out in the nearby states, in camps in Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, and Egypt. Syrians have left their country for five years now. Once the situation has escalated and tipped a fierce war in Syria as a result primarily of geopolitical turmoil in the Middle East, the war has become more intensive. With the Islamic State taking part in, the war became even more brutal. Having in mind that ISIL fighters are active from spring 2013, now the question is asked: Why do Syrian refugees arrive in Europe now? The member-states of the European Union and the countries candidates for EU membership are faced with an unprecedented wave of refugees. As a result of disagreement among EU members on how to cope with the wave of refugees, the Republic of Macedonia suffers consequences. The refugee crisis could cause a serious security crisis in Macedonian, although the humanitarian and the religious-political implications are felt daily by the citizens of this country. In the EU itself there is a lack of mutual trust between member-states, and as a result the lack of principles emerged towards the states located on the Balkan Peninsula. The inability and the lack of coordination with the southern EU member state made Macedonia to monitor the situation directly and postfestum. All this stressed the reluctance of the country in terms of resources and in terms of managing to cope with this challenge, but on the other hand the crisis has demonstrated EU’s cynical and unprincipled relation in showing coordination and management leadership of current problems.
