Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to present the conditions, scale and consequences of mass economic migrations from Eastern Europe to the Visegrad Group countries in the conditions of the protracted Ukrainian crisis. We will consider how the economic, political, social and cultural conditions may shape the migration flows from Eastern Europe in the future and whether Central Europe should be treated as the final destination of migration, or only the stage on the road to Western Europe. An important research problem will also be to find an answer to the question whether the growing wave of labor migration from the East may also be addressed to other countries of the Three Seas Initiative, mainly to Bulgaria and Romania, and to the Baltic States, and how it can affect the situation of Central European countries and the entire European Union.
