  • Frontex data indicated a 27% reduction in unauthorized entries detected at the EU's external borders from January to April 2025.
  • This decline follows increased border enforcement by 3,200 Frontex officers working with national authorities across major migration routes.
  • The Western Balkans route saw the largest drop of 58%, while the Central Mediterranean route remained the busiest with 15,718 crossings, decreasing 3%.
  • April crossings on the Central Mediterranean rose nearly 40% year-on-year due to improved weather, with Bangladeshi nationals comprising most arrivals and journeys costing €9,500–€13,000.
  • Despite fewer overall crossings, 555 deaths at sea occurred in early 2025, highlighting ongoing risks migrants face using unsafe vessels to reach Europe.
