In this context, it is of great interest to analyze the real dimension and concern surrounding the migration phenomenon that led to Austria’s vote against Romania, even though analyzed data presents a different situation, indicating that Bulgaria and Croatia are among the main transit countries, while Romania is only secondary. However, the real problem Austria is facing is a common challenge that must be addressed by the European Union through cooperation between the three categories of countries involved: member states, transit countries, and countries of origin.
