With an unprecedented number of migrants trying to enter the European Union in 2015, the control of the Schengen borders has become a drastically increasing burden. With the current migrant crisis unfolding on the EU’s doorsteps and insufficient support for the Commission’s proposal of equal burden-sharing among member states, short-term solutions are necessary before a long-term comprehensive strategy by the EU is agreed upon. Our conference, therefore, will focus on possible short-term responses, including those currently being considered by the Visegrád Countries.
