This article investigates the correlation between the assessment of the so-called “sufficient resources” requested to benefit from the freedom of movement along with the right to stay in the EU territory and the priority inevitably given to the superior interest of minor persons involved in the migration/reception phenomenon. For this purpose, the paper starts - at first - with a critical evaluation of the current legal framework ruling the stay of third-party countries citizens in EU territory and - then - highlights the role played by the “best interest of the child” criterion in the European case law. In conclusion, this article provides some reflections on the “derivative rights” of non-EU parents by also mentioning the repercussions the Bajratari case caused in the British national case law after Brexit.
