However, while mobility was halted for some groups of migrants (e.g., in reception centres), migrant workers faced somewhat contradictory treatment by different governments, reflecting the &lsquo;need&rsquo; for migrant workers in certain sectors of the economy. The article provides an analysis of such paradoxes in European migration and mobility policies. It focuses on the situation of people on the move on the so-called &lsquo;Balkan route&rsquo; and two categories of temporary workers in the European Union: posted workers and agricultural workers. Its main argument is that, despite hierarchies of different mobility practices, both groups remained largely marginalised and such inequalities made some populations structurally vulnerable in different ways.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>10aagriculture10aBalkan route10aCovid-1910amigration10apeople on the move10aposted work10arefugees1 aKrilić, Sanja, Cukut1 aZavratnik, Simona  uhttps://ceemr.uw.edu.pl/content/structural-vulnerabilities-and-immobilities-amidst-covid-19-pandemic-people-move-along
