In the past few years the use of unmanned aerial vehicles in Lithuania has significantly increased. However, enjoying the advantages of this technology, which improves society's socio-economical safety (public safety in a broad sense), raises some privacy concerns. This article analyses European Union and national legal regulations regarding the use of unmanned aerial vehicles as well as legal tools for defence of the right to privacy or prevention from its breaches in the Republic of Lithuania. Unmanned aerial vehicles have become popular only recently; thus, legislation regarding their use has not yet become a common topic among lawyers. Furthermore, case law of the Republic of Lithuania is silent about it. Thus, the authors model a situation of breach of privacy using an unmanned aerial vehicle and analyse possible defence mechanisms.

Recent processes of globalisation have determined the rise of immigration all over the world: migration flows, their trends and scope have changed. According to numerous statistic data, many European countries face the evergrowing extent of international migration, including irregular migration. The European Union has become one of the most important destinations for migration movements, resulting in a serious debate among Member States on migration control. Migration patterns differ widely among Member States. The changes of geopolitics and instability in the world, war in Syria and violations of human rights, other threats to human security determined the changes of migration. According to the data provided by FRONTEX (European Border and Coast Guard Agency), migratory situation has changed significantly since 2015. European countries recognized migration crisis as one of the most important issue and therefore European law-makers and policy-makers made many decisions regarding this question at the national and at the European level. It was realised that these spreading inflows of immigrants have a strong impact on the social and political climate of host countries, which are often challenged by the growing number of immigrants and, thus, have to review their immigration politics to match them to contemporary processes of globalization. It is important to investigate the contemporary trends in international migration and to discuss current changes in the social situation and immigration politics in European countries. So far no researches were made, for example, evaluating the impact of newly announced possible threats of global migration to economics and industry of security (inventing new devices of search, biometric gadgets, and other examples).
