ABSTRACT
The scale of incidents related to Arab Awaking and the consequences of movement in MENA
region surprised the European Union and international community. However, the report
of the Arab Human Development Report predicted in 2009 that the Arab world will face
security challenges associated with growing population, which can lead to internal tensions
between different communities. The Arab Spring has contributed to the creation of new
political, economic and social realities which forced EU to take necessary action to adapt
to this situation. Significant efforts were taken according to financial support which was
delivered in increased budgets of European Neighborhood Policy projects, The European
Investment Bank (EIB), the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD).
Due to the fact of immigration from region increases anxiety on the South of EU. In order
to prevent illegal border crossing EU established Joint Operation Hermes 2011 to resolve
problem. However the Tunisami consequences are still considered as a threat to European
Union security.
