Summary/Abstract: Since World War II, the idea of peace, liberty, and economic prosperity has driven European nations closer. As a result of political cooperation, the establishment of a common market with a free-travel zone, the European continent has turned into one of the favored places in the world to live. Besides that, liberal democracy, economic growth, stability, and social welfare facilities have made the continent an attractive destination for migrants. Belgium, an open economy and the capital of the EU, has been one of the attractive destinations in Europe for years for both EU citizens and others.
