Requests for asylum from Albanians in Europe remained the highest among the Balkan countries

In February of this year, requests for asylum from Albanians in the countries of the European Union were the highest in the countries of the Western Balkans region.

According to the report of the European Union Agency for Asylum (EUAA), published on Friday, Albanian citizens submitted 845 applications for asylum during the month of February.

They are followed by citizens from North Macedonia with 602 applications, citizens from Serbia with 481 applications, citizens from Kosovo with 304 applications, from Bosnia Herzegovina with 142 applications, while the smallest number of applications for asylum is made by citizens of Montenegro with only 23 people.

In January of this year, the number of requests for asylum from Albanians in the countries of the European Union was about 900, of which about 700 were requests for the first time and about 200 were repeat requests.

Even the 2022 annual indicators of the European Asylum Agency said that in the countries of the European Union there were significantly more applicants from the Western Balkans, especially Albania, North Macedonia, Serbia and Kosovo.

According to the Agency's report, in 2022, 13,043 applications for asylum were registered by Albanian citizens from 11,210 that were registered in 2021 and 6,498 in 2020.

But in 2022, the number of asylum requests reached record numbers from Albanian citizens, in the United Kingdom, where around 16,000 asylum applications were reported.

The latest report of the European Union Agency for Asylum estimates that "in the second half of 2022 and the beginning of 2023, a large increase in applications for international protection is taking place in the European Union driven by conflicts, political and social unrest, economic difficulties and food insecurity. "

According to the report just published by the European Union Agency for Asylum (EUAA), only in February of this year, the countries of the European Union have registered about 81 thousand requests for asylum. This does not include citizens from Ukraine where, according to the Agency's Report, over 4 million Ukrainians currently benefit from temporary protection in the EU.

According to the report of the European Asylum Agency, in February of this year, Venezuelan and Colombian citizens submitted twice as many applications, compared to February of last year, and a significant number of Russians and Iranians also applied.

Applications from Russians in February were 2,100, which tripled compared to February last year, as well as Iranians with 1,600 applications, which doubled compared to the same period in 2022.

The European Asylum Agency estimates that at the end of February there were 650,000 applications awaiting a decision accumulated since 2017.

During the month of February, European Union countries granted refugee status more often to Afghans and granted subsidiary protection more often to Syrians.

Recognition rates for other nationalities remained largely stable, including for Syrians (95%), Iranians (45%), Pakistanis (8%), Bangladeshis (4%), while for Albanian citizens and from the countries of the Balkan region the levels of recognition are very low. /VOA
