The spokesperson of the UNHCR in Hungary, Erno Shimun, said on Thursday that migration of Kosovo people has to do with the escape from poverty. He said that the solution of this issue should be discussed at the European level. “According to our experience, migration of Kosovo people has to do with poverty,” said Shimun. So for this reason, he said that authorities in Hungary have decided not to give asylum to Kosovars. Besides poverty being one of the main reasons for leaving Kosovo, he also mentioned the issue of Roma Community, who say that they are discriminated and scared for their lives in Kosovo.”The issue of Kosovo affects the whole Europe, so therefore, to find the solution it should be discussed at the European level,” added Shimun. He announced that UNHCR is working with the Hungarian authorities on a daily basis and that they will also address this issue with civil society organizations. Shimun recalled that UNHCR is present in Kosovo and is monitoring the situation, as well as in Serbia. “We regularly visit borders, and try to talk to migrants and to understand their situation.”
