EU: Kosovo government to prevent irregular migration (Radio Kosova)
Milica Petrovic, the European Commission Press Officer for Migration, Home Affairs and Citizenship, told Radio Kosova on Thursday that the government of Kosovo should take strict measures to prevent the irregular migration. According to Petrovic, Kosovo government should increase its information campaign for immigrants; strengthen border controls in accordance with fundamental rights; investigate bus companies that allow travel from Kosovo and to strengthen operational cooperation with countries of transit and destination countries. Petrovic said that from December last year, 40 percent of illegal crossings towards the Eurozone are coming from Kosovo citizens, far exceeding the requirements of immigrants coming from Syria and Afghanistan.
