With the Decision for visa regime liberalization by the European Union for the citizens of the Republic of Macedonia, on 19.12.2009 Macedonian citizens started to apply the visa-free regime for trips to EU countries (except for Great Britain and Ireland) and three European countries - Norway, Switzerland and Iceland. However, after the introduction of the so-called visa liberalization, in Macedonia immediately appeared certain abuses of this regime and quite quickly was revealed the case of false asylum seekers from Macedonia in the European countries. Preventive measures taken by the law enforcement agencies for reducing abuse of visa liberalization are the main subject of the paper, in which the authors present the case of fraudulent application for asylum by Macedonian citizens in the EU Member States. For this purpose, first, chronologically are presented the events which preceded, and the conditions which were fulfilled for obtaining visa facilitation; after that terminologically were determined and deferred asylum and visa-free regime and their meaning, and particular emphasis was put on the false asylum seekers. In the problem of abuse and false asylum especially were observed the causes, perpetrators, organizing, manner of execution and consequences. As a result of such an occurrence, the Republic of Macedonia has received more threats related to the eventual abolition of visa liberalization, so that is why the state authorities so urgently approached for taking certain preventive and repressive measures to reduce false asylum claims and abuses arising from such procedures.
