The aim of this paper is to consider measures that contribute to the regulation of temporary and circular migration, as well as reintegration in the countries of the Western Balkans, which have long faced numerous and diverse challenges of labor emigration. Immediately after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, a large number of migrant workers returned to the countries of the Western Balkans. Migrant workers, especially those who are staying abroad temporarily, have faced sudden and numerous migration challenges, but they also want to return to work abroad as soon as the conditions are met. Therefore, in order to improve the position and protect the rights of international migrants as efficiently as possible in the future, it is necessary to develop measures that can complement the activities of the Western Balkan countries to regulate and encourage temporary and circular migration, as well as reintegration of migrant workers upon return. This is particularly important in the context of the complex challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, as the contribution of both highly-skilled and low-skilled foreign workers has been shown to be an integral part of the sustainability of the state system in immigration countries. They will increasingly direct immigration policies towards measures to attract the necessary foreign workers. Therefore, emigration countries should work on improving legislation, developing inter-institutional cooperation and strengthening the capacity of actors at both national and local levels of government and building an approach that includes cooperation of whole of government approach, including the scientific and civil sector. After the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, it was shown that migration policy should rapidly develop measures that reduce the costs and negative effects of migration to the lowest possible level, both for migrants and their families who often remain in the country of origin.

: A complex interplay among socioeconomic transformations and the underlying demographic trends has occurred along the long-term development of European countries. For instance, fertility plays a key role along the urban-rural gradient contributing to understand population patterns and processes and allowing identification of factors, drivers and consequences of demographic transitions. This contribution focuses on the relationship between urban growth and demographic transition, discussing whether discontinuous and dispersed urban expansion can be associated with a specific phase of demographic transition, especially a higher suburban fertility compared with urban and rural areas. A review of the ‘suburban fertility hypothesis’ based on earlier studies carried out in advanced economies, with a specific focus on Europe, indicates that urban sprawl is associated to younger and larger families whose childbearing behaviors determine positive feedbacks in terms of local fertility and demographic dynamics at large, with spatial heterogeneity across European regions and countries.

: The paper deals with demographic problems of Serbian border region. The aim of the paper is to determine representation of demographic problems of this specific space in strategic documents. The paper consists of two parts, where the first part of the paper analyzes the demographic characteristics of the Serbian border area. The second part of the paper examines the representation of the demographic problems of the border regions in the strategic documents of the Republic of Serbia. It is analyzed whether and in what way the demographic problems of the border areas are included in public policies. Demographic methods were used to analyze demographic characteristics, while the second part of the paper used methods of observation, collection, collating and analysis. The results obtained in the paper indicate that border municipalities in Serbia have, on average, less favorable dmeographic characteristics than municipalities without border status, but also that within this group of municipalities they differ significantly from one another. There are municipalities of negative demographic extremes, and they have re-corded extreme values of certain demographic indicators at the national level. Critical analysis indicates the presentation of basic demographic trends in Serbian border region in general strategies, with this area being a unique entity, whose characteristics are geographical sensitivity, economic underdevelopment and demographic problems. insufficient birth and aging of the population. The problem is that despite noticing demographic problems at the local level, the envisaged measures are difficult to implement due to the limited revenues and budgets of local self-government units.
