The objective of the round table is to increase the awareness
of the Bulgarian public of the migration flows and policies
in an enlarged Europe.The objective is articulated in two
problems. On one hand, the Austrian migration policy – the
migration panorama, the harmonization of legislation with
the European one, the securitarian and human rights concerns,
and on the other - Bulgarian immigration as part of a larger
contingent of south-eastern migration flows and its integration
in the Austrian society.
The Austrian case is interesting for Bulgaria in two regards
- Austria, like Bulgaria, does not consider itself an immigration
country. The policies of Austria both in terms of control
of migration flows and of integration of migrants are relevant
for Bulgaria – what Austria did 20 years ago, Bulgaria prepares
to do today. Apart from this The Bulgarian community in Austria
is interesting because of its diverse ethnic, educational
and professional structure.
In German and Bulgarian, with translation into Bulgarian.
