Pozorová, Danica ; Kunertová, Tereza (advisor) ; Král, Richard (referee)
Benefit tourism as a problematic aspect in the EU Benefit tourism is a topic which has gotten quite a lot of media attention lately, has influenced the lives of mobile EU citizens as well as the EU itself in connection with the brexit. The aim of this thesis is to provide the reader with a comprehensive portrait of the topic, and to explore how is this phenomenon reflected in the case-law of the Court of Justice of the EU. In addition to dealing with the political context and the notion of benefit tourism, this thesis explores the free movement of persons based on both, the economic and the non-economic basis. The focus of the thesis lays on the case-law of CJEU relative to the access of economically inactive EU citizens to the social assistance systems of the host Member States, particularly the judicial chain Brey - Dano - Alimanovic - García-Nieto.

In addition to this it also presents a professional debate analysing a concept of the European citizenship. The second part of this work is dedicated to the Roma directly. It shows the bonds of the Roma towards Europe through the history and the territory. More importantly it presents two cases that indicate a limitation of the EU citizenship rights for the Roma people. The first one discovers a structural discrimination of the citizens of the EU who do not have a residence in the Member state. This is one of the consequences of their nomadic way of life still preferred by some the Roma people. Subsequently, the second case analyses a controversial event of an expulsion of the Roma...
