Summary/Abstract: The situation that befell the European Union, when hundreds of human souls sank under the surface of the Mediterranean Sea in search of a better life on the territory of today's European Union, fundamentally shook its commitment to global development, and once again confirmed the crisis of its foreign policy. The reason is that this situation, ie. its consequences could be foreseen. The crisis, which finds its source both within the African countries from which the asylum seekers depart via European soil, and within the traditionally unstable and non-unified foreign policy of the European Union, which still tends to be the most dominant actor in development and on which all actors have turned their eyes in search of a more permanent solution. The latter reveals the paradoxical nature of the role and importance of the EU's foreign policy activities in developing countries, and that in the very year that was declared by the same EU as the "Year of Development".
