摘要

Migration and technological changes of the Fourth Industrial Revolution are processes that significantly shape modern society and are mutually supportive. Innovations in the field Information and Communication Technologies have an intensive impact on the migration process, starting from decision-making about migration, through the impact on travel and maintaining ties with communities of origin, to the integration of migrants into new environments and connections in transnational networks. On the other hand, migrants contribute to the transfer of technical and technological improvements from the country of destination to the country of origin. This paper analyzes these phenomena through a case study of the Albanian minority in Serbia. The authors address the challenges and opportunities that new technologies create for minority communities and migrants as a specific social group, the impact of new technologies on migration processes, and provide insight into the specificities of all the aforementioned processes and effects in addressing migration challenges and the complex technological changes within the Albanian minority in Serbia.
