TIBYSCUM 2023

Part of the challenges managed by the European Union at its borders include human trafficking, smuggling, identity fraud and document forgery, human trafficking, and illegal migration. No country can handle them alone!
16% of the EU`s external borders, representing over 2070 km, belong to Romania.

With a grant of over 4.7 million euros provided by the Norway Grants, the General Inspectorate for Immigration, together with the Norwegian Directorate of Immigration and Romanian partners from the General Inspectorate of Border Police, General Inspectorate of the Romanian Police, National Agency against Trafficking in Persons, Alexandru Ioan Cuza Police Academy, and the Romanian Intelligence Service, implemented the project "Improving the National Asylum and Migration System."

The TIBYSCUM 2023 exercise aimed to verify how Romanian authorities cooperate to manage a possible migration crisis, the flow of information, and the decision-making process.

It involved forces and resources from the Ministry of Internal Affairs with responsibilities in ensuring border security, managing public order and safety measures, emergency situations, asylum and migration, as well as representatives of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, and the Romanian National Council for Refugees.

Together, they help protect the borders and strive to make the EU a free and safe space for each of us.
