Abstract
THE CENTRAL EASTERN EUROPE (CEE) AND SOUTHEAST EUROPE (SEE) HAVE BECOME THE MAIN SUPPLIERS OF LABOR FOR WESTERN EUROPE, BUT WITHOUT RADICAL POSITIVE CHANGES IN THE BIRTH RATE, IT IS UNLIKELY THAT MIGRATION FLOW FROM CEE AND SEE WILL REPRESENT A SIGNIFICANT PART OF THE OVERALL MIGRATION IN THE EU. THE DECREASING BALANCE OF MIGRATION FROM CEE AND SEE COULD JUSTIFY THE PARADIGM OF "FORTRESS EUROPE" (A EU CLOSE-BORDER WITHOUT INTERNAL RESTRICTIONS). IN ADDITION, EU AS "GLOBAL ACTOR" REQUESTS A SCHENGEN AREA WITHOUT RESTRICTIONS FOR THE MOVEMENT INSIDE THE "FORTRESS EUROPE". IN THE CASE OF ROMANIA, YOUTH MASS MIGRATION WILL CREATE A DIRE PERSPECTIVE FOR SOCIETY AND ECONOMY. IT IS ESTIMATED THAT ROMANIA WILL LOSE 4 -5 MILLION PEOPLE BY 2025. THERE IS A FLOW OF MIGRANTS FROM MOLDOVA TO ROMANIA. THE ROMANIAN FLOW OF MIGRANTS IS FOCUSED ON "GINTA LATINA" – SPAIN AND ITALY – AS MAJOR TARGET COUNTRIES.
