Kosovo/ Incumbent government ready to discuss migrant centers with the United

The acting government of Kosovo has expressed its willingness to discuss with the United Kingdom the proposal to establish "return centers" in Kosovo for asylum seekers rejected by the British Isles.

This statement comes after reports that the United Kingdom is considering Kosovo as one of the possible countries for housing migrants who have completed the asylum appeal process in the United Kingdom.

Kosovo Government Spokesperson, Përparim Kryeziu, in a statement to Radio Free Europe, emphasized that "we want to help the United Kingdom, our friend, partner and ally, as well as its Labour government."

"We believe it is fair to say that we can start discussions on this topic, but all our state institutions must be involved and then the decision will depend on their recommendations. Many questions will need to be answered in advance," said Kryeziu.

The proposal to set up return centres is part of a wider UK strategy to address the growing number of migrants arriving on the English island through illegal routes.

According to reports from the British newspaper The Times, these centers would serve to house asylum seekers who have completed the appeal process and are awaiting deportation.

However, the international organization Human Rights Watch has expressed concern that using Balkan countries as host countries for migrants could violate their rights and create new challenges for host countries.
