The paper’s front-page editorial today writes about Kosovo government’s reluctance to fight organized crime and corruption and the reason behind irregular migration. “As a consequence of lack of vision and prospects, many of those who are repatriated, are migrating again, determined to leave their country. There cannot be better future for Kosovo people if the government doesn't fight corruption and organized crime, at all levels.

Around 70 Kosovar immigrants were flown back from Budapest to Prishtina on a flight organized by the Ministry of Interior of Kosovo.

The passengers were a wider group of Kosovar migrants to countries including Austria, Sweden, Germany, Slovakia, Finland and Hungary whose temporary asylum status in these countries had expired.

The former RTK Belgrade-based correspondent, Fahri Musliu, writes in an opinion piece that the lack of visa liberalization is the main cause of the recent irregular migration of Kosovo people towards European Union (EU). Musliu writes that the EU is responsible for Kosovo people taking the “route through hell”, spending their money and putting their life in danger in order to seek a better future in the EU. The author writes that the situation is alarming and requires urgent solutions.

It took seven years after Kosovo declared its independence from Serbia for Besim Aaliti to conclude that Europe’s newest state no longer offered him a future.

So Mr Aaliti, a bricklayer from the Kosovan village of Strubulovo, travelled through Serbia and Hungary to reach Germany, where he applied for asylum earlier this month.

The paper’s front page editorial today blames the government of Kosovo about the death of a Kosovo Albanian two-year-old child who died in an asylum camp in Hungary. The paper writes that Kosovo institutions are responsible for people fleeing Kosovo to seek better future in European Union countries. “This death is a direct accusation against those responsible for the degradation of Kosovo, where, there is no welfare, no equality and no fairness.” According to the paper, the bad governance destroyed the hopes of people that one day things will get better in Kosovo.

The representatives of the Serbian community condemned the statement of Kosovo's Minister for Diaspora Valon Murati, who said that one of the reasons for discontent and mass emigration of Albanians from Kosovo is the privileged status of minorities and problematic relation with the Serbian community. 

Kosovo Minister of Internal Affairs Skender Hyseni said that all those who have irregularly migrated to Europe will be returned to Kosovo while the government is very limited in funds to help those returning. Hyseni said he had many meetings with counterparts from different European countries, all of whom stressed that their respective countries will not be granting asylum status to the people from Kosovo. He said the irregular migration is an adventure whose near end will only result in making people even poorer.

Kosovo has lost an estimated 50,000 people in the past two months ­ most of them on buses bound eventually for Germany. What is going on in this tiny corner of the Balkans?

Nysret Ismaili surveys the small group of children playing on the flinty school football pitch, set in the plains below Kosovo’s rolling hills, and knows he has a problem.

The German Ambassador to Kosovo, Angelika Viets, on Thursday made a visit to the municipality of Ferizaj/Urosevac, and called on people not to leave Kosovo. Viets met with the Mayor of Ferizaj/Urosevac, Muharrem Sfarca with whom she discussed the phenomena of irregular migration. “The new government of Kosovo has understood clearly the reasons that people are fleeing Kosovo, and are willing to take measures to prevent this phenomena. Escaping is not a solution to economic problems,” said Viets.

GERMERING, Germany— Valmir Sahiti, 25 years old, has spent the last two weeks living in a nursing home in the long-shot hope of a new life.

Mr. Sahiti, an asylum-seeker from Kosovo, is staying with five relatives in a makeshift refugee center set up on several turquoise-carpeted empty floors of the home. He says he is aware the German authorities may soon send him back, but he insists the chance to live in Germany is worth the attempt.

“We love Germany,” Mr. Sahiti, a Kosovar Albanian, says. “Albanians have a saying: If God wants it, he will do it.”
