Irregular migration into EU drops sharply in 2024, EU border agency says

Irregular migration into the European Union dropped sharply in 2024, with detections falling to their lowest level since 2021, according to the EU Border Agency, Frontex.
The EU Border Agency reported a significant 38-percent decrease in irregular entries, with over 239,000 detections recorded last year.
The Western Balkans route saw a 78-percent drop in crossings, attributed to strong efforts by regional countries to stem the flow, while the Central Mediterranean route fell by 59 percent.
Despite the overall decline, the Canary Islands experienced an 18-percent rise in arrivals, marking the highest figure since 2009, as stated by Frontex.
