migrants

A large-scale immigration centre is to be operational in Albania from August. Rome is building it to take illegal migrants intercepted at sea out of its territory until the asylum process is completed. Critics say the plan is unfair to migrants because it will disproportionately prolong their stay in the European Union when they are assessed. Is this an effective solution or is it just part of Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's election campaign? Viktor Daněk, deputy director of EUROPEUM Institute, commented for Horizont ČT24.

Our Christian Kvorning Lassen, in an interview for RTVS, commented on the overall situation in Germany, where the number of migrant asylum seekers was reduced. The decrease was also helped by the agreement with Turkey, which closed the Balkan Route or cooperation with Libya. The German Ministry of Interior however wants the numbers to be even lower.

In an interview for Slovak RTVS, our research fellow Christian Kvorning Lassen commented Angela Merkel's proposal on managing the migration from Africa to Europe.
