      <abstract>
        <p>Trending processes in certain regions of Africa, Middle East and Asia forced many people to immigrate to Europe. After arriving to Europe’s periphery, migrants apply for the asylum, or move to the predetermined countries. However, some circumstances encourages refugees to migrate illegally. As Europe is mainly covered by land, the illegal immigrants use land transport as a mean for movement across the Europe. 27% of illegal immigrants use road freight transport. There are some evidences that intrusions into the road freight transport units became better organized and planned. European road freight companies are taking preventive measures to reduce or avoid such incidences; however private sector is not able to control the risks of illegal immigrants through its preventive measures alone. The present paper discusses conceptual model which serve as initial background for the cooperation between private and public sector and joining their efforts towards elaboration of common actions necessary for solving problem of intrusions of illegal immigrants.</p>
