Abstract
The author is of the opinion that with the fall of the Berlin wall not all obstacles to the free circulation of goods and people were eliminated — either in Europe or in other regions of the world, since there are numerous other walls standing in the way of establishing a global world or European order. In that context, the agreement among the members of the European Union on the all-out control of “its borders” towards the non-member European countries, is considered by the author as a specific form of a new “curtain”, not “iron” any longer, but electronic.
