The European Union is one of the best institutional structures in the world in terms of mechanicalization of real life issues.
While the Schengen politics is a politics of discipline, the politics of FRONTEX in the Western Balkans is proper necropolitics.
Many examples show that border controls will not solve the refugee and migrant problem, as long as the very conditions which drive people to leave their countries are not addressed.
Western Balkans will embark on implementing border policies that came as a result of a political strengthening of the darkest political forces of the continent.
