Abstract
Taking into consideration the current developments as regards the intensification of the
irregular movement of third country nationals at the EU’s border with Belarus, this paper
sets as its main objective to assess the resilience building measures that were taken at the
level of the affected Member States and that of the EU in order to manage the newly
emerged border crisis. It is being argued that we are not dealing with an ordinary
migration crisis, but a deliberate act of the Belarusian regime to instrumentalise migrants
from the Middle East for political purposes. The research presents the facilitation of
irregular immigration in a dual nexus, firstly as a hybrid warfare tool, and secondly, as a
shock/stress factor disturbing the system or the prevalent status quo. After presenting the
statistics on the modification of the illegal border-crossings between Belarus and the EU
in the 2021-2022 period, we shall attempt to briefly analyse the resilience building
measures to the hybrid threat of weaponizing migrants that were taken at both Community
and Member State level, by grouping them in five resilience building categories:
political/legal, institutional, inter-institutional, regulatory and societal.
