INTERNATIONAL PRIMARY AND CRIMINOGENIC ASPECTS OF THE MIGRATORY CRISIS IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA

Abstract

Thousands of migrants from various Asian countries have been staying in Bosnia and Herzegovina for several years. Their movement to the desired destination stopped in Bosnia and Herzegovina due to the impossibility of entering the countries of the European Union. With their arrival, stay in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the migrant violates numerous international first movements of citizens in sovereign states, starting with illegal entry into the state, lack of valid documents, nonregistration of residence, etc. For a long time, the competent state authorities at the level of Bosnia and Herzegovina have failed to find a successful model for resolving the migrant crisis. They are mostly satisfied with "partial" solutions, shifting responsibility to each other, without the ultimate real desire and success to provide security to the citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the areas where migrants live. From the criminological aspect, the stay and behavior of migrants is especially problematic. Namely, there are numerous crimes committed by migrants, such as theft, aggravated theft, endangering safety, murder, bodily injury, etc. The paper will present the current period of international legal norms, as well as the degree of criminogenicity of residence and behavior of migrants in Bosnia and Herzegovina, especially in the Una-Sana Canton, where this problem is most pronounced.
