This report is the result of one year of multi-dimensional field research
conducted by a international research team representing seven countries
(Poland, Czechia, Hungary, Slovakia, Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova). It
aims at a detailed analysis of migration patterns and migration
forecasts from Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova to the EU and the Visegrad
Group (V4). In particular, the nexus between EU visa policy and
migration dynamics as well as the impact of economic, political and
institutional factors on migration patterns from Eastern Europe have
been investigated.
From the review of Prof. Maciej Duszczyk, Deputy Director of the Institute of Social Policy of the University of Warsaw;
“The
report demonstrates a comprehensive analysis of contemporary migration
from Eastern Europe to the EU and V4 as well as detailed prognosis of
future migration dynamics. Research results prove that liberalisation
of visa policies may bring significant benefits both for sending and
receiving states. Therefore, this book should make
compulsory reading for anyone wishing to use rational arguments instead of populist slogans in debate on migration. This is particularly relevant in view of the growing support for anti-immigration parties across the entire European Union”
