FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT FOR PERSONS<br />

IN THE RELATIONSHIP<br />

BETWEEN THE EUROPEAN UNION AND THE THIRD COUNTRIES<br />

When the European Community was established in 1957, the free movement of persons was privilege only of the<br />

allotted subjects of the EEC i.e. in case of their employment in another member state. Nowadays this principle has spread<br />

to all EU citizens and whit limited effects to third country nationals. Accordingly, the basic guideline of my paper<br />

is the implementation of the principle of freedom of movement of third country nationals which decisively defines<br />

their legal status.<br />

Looking at the sources of law and the subjects responsible for legal regulation we have to take account of the exclusive<br />

law-maker role of the European Community in the current, three-pillar structure of the EU. This legislative<br />

competence has derivative character which means that the member states have transferred some of their competences<br />

to the Community. This competence at first did not include immigration, asylum and other policies related to free<br />

movement of persons (we deal with the last one); it was only after the adoption of the Treaty of Amsterdam in 1997,<br />

when these issues were transferred from the third pillar into the first.<br />

This is of utmost importance, because this „basic freedom” has been coming a long way considering its history.<br />

The present research covers its development, the expending of its effects and its enforcement, which could be seen<br />

trough the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Communities.<br />

After Hungary’s joining the EU the position of the Hungarian minority in Voivodina has changed. Being Serbian<br />

nationals their legal status is limited by community law on the territory of the EU. This is one the reasons why so many<br />

people hope for political and economical improvement of Serbia which can solve this problem, but today we can not<br />

talk about definitive solution.<br />
