Migrants deported from the US, heading to Kosovo? - Government Spokesperson,

The acting government of Kosovo has confirmed to Radio Free Europe (RFE/RL) that it has expressed its willingness to cooperate with the United States of America regarding the admission and temporary resettlement of third-country nationals in Kosovo, "in accordance with the conditions set out".

“Over a period of one year, up to fifty persons may be temporarily relocated, with the aim of facilitating their safe return to their country of origin. The Government has expressed its willingness to engage, with the possibility of selecting individuals from a proposed list, as long as they meet certain criteria related to the rule of law and public order,” said Përparim Kryeziu, spokesperson for the acting Government, in a statement to REL.

The US Department of State (DASH) confirmed to REL on June 6 that countries in the Balkan region have been included in contacts within a broader US strategy for the deportation of foreign nationals without regular status.

"American partners and regional leaders are working closely with us to end the crisis of illegal and mass migration," the State Department stressed, adding that implementing the Trump administration's migration policy is one of its top priorities.

"The removal from the United States of aliens for whom final orders of removal exist, as well as the deportation of illegal immigrants, protects the United States from foreign terrorists and other threats to national security and public order," the response states.

Last month, the US Supreme Court allowed the Trump administration to revoke temporary legal status for hundreds of thousands of migrants from Venezuela, Cuba, Haiti and Nicaragua living in the US, strengthening the Republican president's efforts to increase deportations.

The acting government of Kosovo on May 26 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.
