The Balkan route five years later
The project, co-financed by CEI - Central European Initiative, intends to explore the main aspects of the so-called "Balkan route" by investigating the situation in the countries most affected by the transit of migrants and on the most exposed borders (Turkey/ Greece; Turkey/ Bulgaria, Bosnia Herzegovina/ Croatia; Italy/ Slovenia). The research, conducted in partnership by OBCT and CeSPI, will address the characteristics and evolution of the "Balkan route" in a multi-perspective manner, and then investigate the migration management of the countries examined - from Turkey to the Italian-Slovenian border - and the repercussions of these policies both internally and in international relations, combining analysis of the sources already available and qualitative interviews with privileged witnesses.
