This chapter addresses the challenges Bosnia and Herzegovina, a country with a 30-year-old semi-protectorate status, faced with the arrival of a significant number of people on the move, crossing between EU member states. The trend started in 2018 when violence at the borders between Serbia and neighboring EU member states, including Croatia, Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria, became life-threatening. Thanks to neocolonial logic formulated within the DPA, Bosnia became one of the leading testing grounds for the EU migration policy and externalization of borders. The chapter explores how the EU’s “migration management” and “externalization policy” influenced local policies and host communities and how they relate to the EU enlargement process.

摘要

This chapter addresses the challenges Bosnia and Herzegovina, a country with a 30-year-old semi-protectorate status, faced with the arrival of a significant number of people on the move, crossing between EU member states. The trend started in 2018 when violence at the borders between Serbia and neighboring EU member states, including Croatia, Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria, became life-threatening. Thanks to neocolonial logic formulated within the DPA, Bosnia became one of the leading testing grounds for the EU migration policy and externalization of borders. The chapter explores how the EU’s “migration management” and “externalization policy” influenced local policies and host communities and how they relate to the EU enlargement process.
