Visas to the EU will not yet available

  Ukrainians will go to Europe more difficult.
  Discussions on the return of borders within the Schengen area fraught with delaying the process of liberalizing t he visa regime for Ukraine.
   Statement by the Minister of Internal Affairs of Germany Hans-Peter Friedrich on the need for temporary border controls within the Schengen zone bolt from the blue was gone. Dissatisfaction with the European "heavyweights" too transparent borders with Greece and Italy, partly with long maturity. But no one expected such a hard speech Interior Minister, after quite a fresh report of Deputy Government Spokesman George Shtraytera Germany, in which he declared loyalty to the ideals of the German EU as a whole, and free movement between states, in particular.

   However, a replica of the German interior minister sounded almost in unison with the recent statements by French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who in the heat of the election campaign proposed a "temporary measures" are not limited to, a return to a full border control at all over the French border. Despite the enthusiasm of commentators, pre-election deal, it seems, did not work. The Socialists, led to Hollande, the rating is consistently ahead of support for Sarkozy, who said something about "naive fantasies." The leader of the right National Front, Marine Le Pen, whose voice, apparently trying to get Sarkozy gently reminded the acting president of its traditional support for European integration prospects for the majority, against which the "pre-election rightward" is not very sincere.
   However, Sarkozy's campaign promises and are not too confident and consistent maxims German government - not the first attempt to cope with the flow of illegal migrants within the EU. The pioneer in this matter was Denmark, which no high-profile announcements of such control in the past year have introduced - supposedly in order to improve the fight against international crime. But evil tongues say, not without reason that the border posts, without warning, started work on the border with Germany, took solace in the eye is not as harsh Danish police as members of the far-right People's Party, whose votes counted in the upcoming elections the ruling politicians.
  Despite the fatigue of illegal immigrants, the vast majority of European politicians to abandon the Schengen agreements, are not ready. Optimistic figures hoping for positive results, "one hundred and first last warning" made Athens in early March at a meeting of heads of government of Austria, Greece, Germany and the Netherlands. Greece, across the border every year, according to various estimates, leaks of 100 to 180 thousand illegal immigrants, accounting for 90% of the total flow, has promised to radically improve the situation have until June.
   But this is hard to believe - even though the EU allocated 250 million euros "to strengthen the perimeter." This stems from a number of reasons - from the long land and maritime borders to the peculiarities of the functioning of the Greek government bodies and moods themselves Greeks. For example: in response to the Government's decision to build 30 centers for the detention of illegal immigrants before they are sent back home to further the inhabitants of a village, where such a center will be built, undertook to erect barricades in preparation for the end stand for "small home".
  Germany, Austria and Finland, meanwhile discussing the possibility of the resumption of border controls for arriving from Greece. While this solution is not accepted, but, according to eyewitnesses, the German airports of frequent police checks of passengers Greek sides.
  However, despite the "difficulties of the Greek," spiteful comments about the imminent "death of the Schengen" seems premature. Weighted-minded politicians in the EU, especially among those who have in the next six months, elections are not anticipated, to relate the cost of calling for the resumption of full border control with the cost of deportation of illegal immigrants. And at the same time remind us that terrorists do not have malicious difficulties with moving to the territory of countries not belonging to the Schengen area, such as Britain.
   For most of Greece, at least in the short term, an exception to the Schengen area may not be much of a terrible threat. Athens, made the decision to hit the financial crisis, the increase of tourist flow will have the opportunity to cancel or bring to a state of mere formality visa control for visitors from many countries, including Russia and Ukraine. At the same time due to economic difficulties, Greece remains a transit country for migrants, and it can be assumed to be behind the scenes to facilitate the early release of its territory, not too worry about the sanctity of borders northern neighbors. And it's not a desire to thwart: according to the Hellenic Foundation of European and foreign policy, with 11 million people of the country has 1.1 million immigrants, with about 400 thousand of them have no registration. Yourself with this influx can not cope any economy, no state structures of the republic.
   In turn, for the Schengen rejection of Greece would be tantamount to recognizing that the United Europe collapsed under the influx of migrants as well as in his time the Roman Empire under the blows of the barbarians. With the obvious consequences such as further growth of xenophobia and the final collapse of the policy of multiculturalism. All the more so in Greece, this process does not stop. Immigrants will have more pressure on the economy and social services, the peripheral countries of the EU, which will only increase the already considerable imbalance in the economic development of the Union as a whole and ultimately call into question the fate of the eurozone.
   We can assume that in order to avoid this apocalyptic scenario, the EU will set stringent measures to control the transboundary movement. Moreover, under the pressure of public opinion and just a bureaucratic desire perebdet these measures are not always adequate to the threat. For Kiev, is fraught with such a turn, if not the final breakdown, the endless delays in the process of liberalization of visa regime, not to mention its abolition. Just because the government leading members of the EU will be considered a "closed" as a condition of survival of the union.
