The Balkan Road should be used less for illegal immigration, German Interior Minister Nancy Veriz said the German “RND” news organisation in words that were released early on Thursday morning.
Additionally, Verezer believed that the European authorities shared responsibility for stopping illegal immigration “so that we can continue to help people who need urgently to support us.” Verezer made this statement prior to a conference in Berlin with representatives of countries from the West Balkans.
Since the start of the war, more than a million Ukrainian refugees have arrived in Germany.
She also noted that more travellers use the Balkan Road and the Mediterranean to enter Europe.
In order to reduce migration via the Balkan Road, a package of measures will be discussed at the meeting to be held in Berlin today, Thursday.
This entails bringing the Western Balkan countries’ visa policies into compliance with standards set by the European Union, preventing smuggling, and ensuring adequate security.
In the meantime, Gerald Knus, an immigration researcher and co-founder of the European Stability Initiative, said he thought efforts to stop immigration to the European Union via the Balkan Road were worthwhile.
“The closing of the Balkan road has not before been successful,” he continued.
”
The strain today comes from Sharia immigration rather than illegal immigration, he continued. Nine out of ten refugees originate from Ukraine.
Phaser called representatives of the six western Balkan countries (Albania, Bosnia, Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia) to the conference.
The European Union, Italy, Bulgaria, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovenia, France, Croatia, Austria, the United Kingdom, and Greece will also send representatives.
