Abstract

Integracija je ključan pojam vezan uz budućnost migranata, ali tražitelji azila još uvijek nisu skupina zahvaćena integracijskom politikom u Hrvatskoj. Iako osobe koje zatraže azil u Hrvatskoj imaju pravo na boravak u prihvatilištu uz osiguranje osnovnih materijalnih uvjeta prihvata, za razliku od azilanata, zakon im ne daje i pravo na pomoć pri integraciji u društvo. Cilj istraživanja bio je dobiti uvid u iskustva tražitelja azila u Hrvatskoj kako bi se uvidjeli ključni problemi koji ih onemogućuju u ostvarivanju prava i integraciji u društvo. Prva faza integracije u Hrvatskoj je problematična, zanemarena i prijeko potrebna. Započinjanje rada na integraciji po odobrenju zahtjeva za azilom prekasno je jer vodi tražitelje u isključenost i otežava im integraciju nakon stjecanja pravnoga statusa izbjeglice, u kojemu imaju pravo na potporu države u trajanju od dvije godine, po isteku čega im prijeti rizik od nemogućnosti osiguravanja osnovnih uvjeta za egzistenciju. Za istraživanje je korištena kvalitativna metodologija te se intervjuima s tražiteljima nastojalo steći uvid u njihovo viđenje funkcioniranja sustava. Nalazi pokazuju kako za osiguranje zakonom zajamčenoga prava na informacije te pomoć u ranoj integraciji i učenju jezika i kulture društva veliku ulogu ima rad organizacija civilnoga društva, čijim onemogućavanjem tražitelji azila dolaze u veći rizik od izolacije.

Abstract (english)

Integration is a key concept related to the future of migrants, but asylum seekers are still not a group affected by integration policy in Croatia. Although asylum seekers in Croatia have the right of accommodation and the basic material conditions of reception, unlike asylum seekers, they do not have the right of assistance concerning integration into society. The aim of the research was to gain insight into the experiences of asylum seekers in Croatia in order to identify key problems that prevent them from exercising their rights and integrating into society. The first phase of integration in Croatia is problematic, neglected and indispensable. Beginning with integration measures only after the asylum application has been granted is overdue, as it leads applicants to exclusion and makes it difficult for them to integrate after acquiring refugee status. After acquiring refugee status they are entitled to state support for a period of two years, after which they run the risk of not being able to insure basic living conditions. Qualitative methodology used in the research aimed to give insight into asylum seekers view of the Croatian asylum system. The findings show that the work of civil society organizations holds a major role in ensuring the legally guaranteed right to information and assistance in early integration and learning of the language and culture of society. By preventing their voluntary integration efforts, asylum seekers are put under higher risk of isolation.
