This paper is investigating the problem of growing number of illegal immigrants from African continent to European Union (EU) states. For our study particular importance and interest has illegal migrations that uses Libya as transit. We analyzed reasons for raising numbers of illegal immigrants, such as economy issues, political and environmental issues. We paid attention on opportunities that immigrants seeing in EU, like, better working opportunities, a relatively peaceful environment in contrast to the political upheavals and conflicts that unfortunately, have become a symbol of the African continent. Climate changes and growing population increased pressure on natural resources also raised the rate of immigrants who wants to illegally cross to the European continent. Since Libya has been one of the transit points of migrants from northern Africa, the EU has in the recent past intensified its cooperation with this country. Consequently, there are intervention measures necessary for Libya, the EU and international community to mitigate negative effects of this social phenomenon.
