Abstrak

Pergerakan lebih dari satu juta imigran ke Eropa telah menantang kebijakan Eropa mengenai isu imigran dan menggoyahkan landasan Uni Eropa yang telah mapan selama ini. Imigran bukan fenomena baru di Eropa terutama di Balkan (South East Europe). Krisis imigran yang meletus pada tahun 2015 dan 2016 sangat menarik pada aspek jumlah orang, kondisi dan keadaan darurat yang diciptakan. Meningkatnya terorisme di Eropa dan sejumlah besar imigran tiba di Eropa melalui Eropa Tenggara. Inisiasi kampanye imigran di Eropa melalui media sosial, membantu imigran untuk sampai ke Eropa Tengah pada saat yang sama menimbulkan krisis pada negara. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui tanggapan para aktor di Eropa Tenggara terhadap krisis imigran dan kesepakatan Uni Eropa dengan Turki. Konsep penelitian ini adalah pemahaman dampak krisis imigran antara tahun 2015-2016, ketika salah satu dari sejumlah besar imigran Eropa tiba, dan tanggapan negara aktor Eropa Tenggara. Teknik penelitian ini terutama mengandalkan sumber seperti artikel jurnal, artikel surat kabar, sumber daring, dan laporan pusat penelitian yang terkait dengan krisis imigran di Eropa Tenggara (Balkan) dan Turki. Kesepakatan Uni Eropa dan Turki macet karena adanya isu politik antara negara-negara Uni Eropa dan Eropa Tenggara yang terbebani krisis imigran. Sementara, insiden kematian imigran di Laut Aegea meningkatkan pandangan positif mengenai masalah  imigran, meskipun  meningkatnya  insiden  teroris  di  Eropa  mulai  menunjukkan pandangan negatif kepada masalah imigran.
