In December 2021, Denmark signed an agreement with Kosovo to rent a prison in a small town south of the capital Priština. Within ten years, and in exchange for 210 million euros, 300 prisoners sentenced to deportation will be relocated.
However, these projects are still on hold, as the treaty has not been adopted by the Kosovo parliament.
“We want to further intensify cooperation between our countries in the field of security and the fight against organized crime,” Karner said.
At the migration conference, more than 250 political leaders and international organizations discussed solutions through partnerships with third countries to manage refugee arrivals and facilitate returns.
Critics say the deportation plans undermine EU asylum regulations and violate human rights.
Karner, a fan of the Rwandan model, has already demanded a change in “European regulations” to facilitate expulsions from EU countries.
