This paper deals with the scope of the asylum requests of the Afghan population on EU soil in the researched period from 2010 to 2020. In addition, the aim of the paper is to define the causes of any observed changes and to correlate them with the then political situation in the EU and Afghanistan. The orientation of the migration of the Afghan population (to which EU member state they migrate the most), as well as the number based on the data found from relevant sources, will be confirmed. Based on the data found, the consequences of the political and social destabilization of Afghanistan during the past decade will be investigated in the form of an analysis of the emigration of the Afghan population that requested and submitted an application for asylum on the territory of the EU member states. Specific push and pull factors that encouraged the migration of Afghans to the European Union will be listed. The main hypothesis is that the asylum requests of the Afghan population were even before the so-called migration crisis 2015/2016 occupied a high place in the European statistics of asylum seekers. The main hypothesis of this paper was confirmed. The migration of the Afghan population can be considered a constant phenomenon in the EU. This is evident by looking at the quantitative data of the entire researched period. It is also visible if we look at the fact that large migrations of the mentioned population have been recorded and present (or better said, constant) since the beginning of the 1980s. The trend of migration of the Afghan population in the EU followed the general trend of migration without major deviations. The aforementioned increase in 2015 and 2016 was caused by the great migration crisis; the decrease in 2017 can be explained by the securitization of the borders of many European countries, especially those located on the Balkan route. In 2020, a new decline was recorded, which can be explained by the global pandemic of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and the COVID-19 disease and Brexit. The migration profile of the Afghan population in the EU in the specified period was also analyzed according to gender and country of application. The majority of migrants from the Afghan population who applied for asylum on EU soil are male for all observed years (between 71-80%), while the low mobility of women is largely probably caused by the traditional patriarchal mentality and the Taliban regime. Through the analysis of the spatial patterns of migration, it was observed that the migration of the Afghan population is concentrated mostly in the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany.
