IN ENGLISH: The main focus of this article is to examine how the support for European Union (EU) integration has developed during the migration crisis and COVID-19 pandemics, considered one of the two most significant crises to have impacted EU countries in the decade before the war in Ukraine. The article aims to investigate the factors that influence public support for EU deeper integration during times of crisis while considering both individual traits and the wider social context. We have identified three groups of factors as possible predictors of attitudes towards the EU integration: identity, utilitarian, and system performance factors. For the analysis, we used data from four waves of the ESS European Social Survey (VII and VIII for the migration crisis and IX and X for the COVID-19 crisis). We analysed the data using multilevel modelling at three levels: individual, temporal, and country-level. Analyses show that all factors contribute to explaining citizens’ attitudes towards the EU, but the specificity of crises also leads to the specific weight of different factors. --------------- IN CROATIAN: Glavno usmjerenje ovoga članka jest ispitati kako se potpora integraciji Europske unije (EU) razvijala tijekom migrantske krize i pandemije COVID-19, dviju najznačajnijih kriza koje su pogodile države članice EU-a u desetljeću prije rata u Ukrajini. Cilj je članka istražiti faktore koji oblikuju javnu potporu dubljoj integraciji EU-a u razdobljima krize, uzimajući u obzir obilježja na individualnoj razini, ali i širi društveni kontekst. Identificirali smo tri skupine faktora kao potencijalne prediktore stavova prema integraciji EU-a: identitetske, utilitarne i faktore vezane uz funkcioniranje sustava. Za potrebe analize korišteni su podaci iz četiri vala Europskog društvenog istraživanja (ESS) – valovi VII. i VIII. za migrantsku krizu te IX. i X. za pandemiju COVID-19. Podaci su analizirani primjenom višerazinskog modeliranja na tri razine: individualnoj, vremenskoj i razini države. Rezultati pokazuju da sve skupine faktora doprinose objašnjenju stavova građana prema EU-u, pri čemu specifičnosti pojedinih kriza uvjetuju različitu težinu pojedinih faktora.
