Abstract:
In a globalized world the neighbouring areas gained an increased importance as they started to act also as filters for threats and risks coming from more remote areas. Especially after the creation of the Schengen area and the removal of the internal frontiers inside this zone, the external borders and the neighbouring areas of the EU gained a special status as there were increased pressures to better secure them and prevent outside threats to enter the Community and then move unhindered in the area. The Southern frontier of the European Union is found in the Mediterranean Sea and is one of the frontiers that raise many security concerns for the member states. Traditionally, the Mediterranean is perceived as a region that unites three continents, different cultures and religions. As the external frontiers of the EU become more preeminent and fortified in this case, the southern boundary became more a separation line. It is one of EU’s today preoccupation and challenge to unify the area and reach stability and security in the region as many of its interests and objectives can be linked with this region. It is the aim of this article to establish which are the threats and risks that made EU interested in prioritizing the area and develop several strategies and programmes as well as cooperation frameworks. Key words: EU interest, EU priorities, Southern frontier, Mediterranean region, Barcelona Process, Euro-Med
