The subject of this paper focuses on migration crises in respect to specific characteristics of the contemporary migration crisis in Italy as part of the European Union. To explain the logic of migration crisis and its particularities in Italy, a comprehensive tool was applied including the intergovernmentalism theory by Buttenwieser University Professor Emeritus Stanley Hoffman, which is based on realist ideas about the state and its roles, along with retrospective and comparative methodology. Resting upon these study methods, following results were achieved: 1) the EU, including Italy, has reached some sort of consensus on issues of the common migration policy and relocation of migrants; 2) In recent months the EU and Italy have taken effective measures and have been provided with an opportunity to put the migration flows under control.
