EU seeks third countries for return centers for irregular migrants
Following the approval of a new return framework, the European Union has begun searching for non-EU countries to host centers for migrants whose asylum applications have been rejected.
European Union member states have started negotiations with several countries outside the bloc to establish centers for migrants who have been refused asylum and must legally leave Europe. A few years ago, this idea was considered politically almost impossible, but the situation has now changed.
The European Parliament recently approved a new return framework, paving the way for such centers outside the EU. Several member states are actively looking for third countries willing to host these migrants. Which countries are involved in the talks has not been disclosed.
This new approach reflects a tougher EU stance on migration policy, aiming to speed up the return of individuals who are not entitled to stay in Europe. Creating return centers outside the EU could significantly reduce pressure on member states' borders and asylum systems.
