Special attention in informing the public was directed to the issues of reasons why the borders were closing and the barriers were rising on the borders of certain countries in our environment. Everyday reports mentioned the countries from Turkey via Greece, Italy, Macedonia, Serbia, and Austria, Slovenia and Hungary as well as the island of Lesbos, over which the migrants from the East were leaving their countries because of the war and famine, all in the desire to have a better life in the developed European countries. A number of organizations from the civil, private and public sector participated in accordance with their authorities in the organization and accommodation of refugees who were in transit through the Republic of Croatia. The paper analyses the roles and specific characteristics of the public and private, as well as civil sector, related to the precision and timeliness of the communication within these bodies and informing the wider social community about the events related to the migrant crisis. The research analyses the importance of precise and timely information both for the migrants as well as for the entire social environment with the aim of reducing the possible consequences resulting from the migration crisis.
