We have many people from Kosovo and Albania, and other countries of the Balkans, to whom we will not grant asylum. There is no such thing as economic refugee,” said Francken. Hyseni, said that he has asked the Belgian delegation that the procedures for irregular migrants to become more efficient. “The chances to win asylum in the Schengen countries are very low, so I repeat, do not flee Kosovo, because, everyone will come back poorer,” said Hyseni.
