abstract = "Contemporary security environment has been facing with a numerous security threats: from old threats to new and transformed threats. Security is no longer associated with pure military force that threaten the stability or the typical function of states. The broadening and deepening of our understanding of what constitutes a security threat and challenge has resulted with new areas of so called new security agenda. According to new security agenda, migration becomes one of main security threat to the national and human security. Migration is a complex social phenomenon caused by a different reasons: economics, social, political, religious and cultural. The perception of migration as a threat to security in European security policy has developed alongside with the rapid increase in the number of migrants, especially from the Middle East and North African countries. The concept of social security primarily deals with the issue of collective identity. Immigration of people of other culture, ethics, religions, habit and customs can be perceived as a threat to the identity and the way of life in the local population. Migration can pose a threat to a state’s national interest through its impact on the state’s economy and become a threat to economic security of state. Also, migration can come in conjunction with other security threats. So, mass migrations can pose a serious security threat because of the role that organized crime plays in guiding and directing refugee waves, as well as the possibility for terrorists to use migration waves to destabilize European countries. The aim of this paper is to explore in which cases migration can justifiably be considered as a security problem, then which implications in term of low, policies and procedures labelling of migration as a security threat has. At that way we analyze how the Balkans and Europe countries deal with migration as a security issue. A special focus is on researching the connection between migration, organized crime and terrorism.",
