Country profile
Summer 2015 marked an unprecedented spike in migration towards Europe, with thousands of asylum seekers travelling through the Balkans on a daily basis until the imposition of travel restrictions in February and March 2016. Since then, migrants and asylum seekers have continued to arrive Europe: through the Balkans by increasingly relying on smugglers and illegal routes; and through Italy by using of the dangerous Central Mediterranean sea crossing from Libya. Many migrants have also found themselves stranded in Europe after the imposition of the new travel restrictions, in fear of deportation and increasingly resorting to illegal travel.
