Frontex revealed a concerning 192% increase in irregular border crossings from Belarus and Russia to the EU, indicating a geopolitical issue regarding migration.
While overall irregular crossings into the EU significantly dropped by 38% to the lowest level since 2021, specific routes saw alarming increases, particularly the Eastern Mediterranean.
The steep decline in irregular entries through the Western Balkans, at 78%, demonstrates the effectiveness of regional cooperation against smuggling networks as reported by Frontex.
Frontex highlighted that even with an overall decrease, 67,000 irregular crossings from the Central Mediterranean indicate ongoing challenges in regulating and managing migration in the region.
