According to the United Nations (UN), over 250 million people lived abroad in 2016. There have never been so many immigrants in the world. Most of them - 74 percent. were people aged 20-64, settling permanently in richer countries for various reasons, mainly concern for the safety of their future existence. The wave of refugees and migrants, so far unknown in the modern history of mankind, surprises with its size and political, social and economic effects, directly affecting the security level of the host countries and regions where this wave takes place. As a result, there is a varied fear of "stranger / unknown", in reaction leading to protective measures, including: periodical closing of borders, building walls on the borders, tightening migration policies, as well as reporting readiness to transfer financial and material resources for the purpose of organizing and the maintenance of refugee and migrant camps in regions close to where they live. The participatory readiness of governments of many countries to bear the costs of locating and maintaining such camps has been met with the response of many global food, logistics, communal, financial, pharmacological, communication and teleinformation companies offering a wide range of services / services. It can be assumed that in the years 2014-2016 a new type of service business for refugees and migrants was developed, related to ensuring the control of this phenomenon (identity records, electronic mapping of locations), and, importantly for European societies - lowering the fear / fear of foreign new mass waves of refugees. With the current demographic trends, it is an illusion to believe that Europe can lock itself in on its own communities. The community is faced with the urgent need to invest in an integration policy that rejects harmful myths and prejudices, and instead relies on European values ​​that prohibit discrimination on the basis of origin and religion. Europe's role is to invest in foreign policy that takes into account problem-solving in its neighborhood, especially in the Middle East and Africa (according to the Institute for New Economic Thinking, the population of this continent will increase to over 4 billion people in the mid-21st century). This will require Europe's support in crisis regions, respect for women's rights and freedoms, education and, above all, political stabilization. The issues of fighting hunger, drought and poverty as well as the functioning of efficient humanitarian corridors remain open. How many people and at what time will want to flee to the Old Continent depends on the success or failure of Europe's actions in these matters.
