Slovenia backs the dialogue on reforming the legal framework for migrant returns

Copenhagen/Ljubljana – The Danish EU Council presidency aims to secure an agreement among member states by year-end on the proposed regulation concerning the return of migrants without the right to reside in the EU, announced Danish Minister for Immigration Kaare Dybvad following an informal gathering of EU interior ministers in Copenhagen. Slovenian Interior Minister Boštjan Poklukar concurred that reforming the legal framework is crucial for establishing a unified migrant return system.

Dybvad indicated that Denmark is focused on achieving a general approach within the EU Council by the end of the year regarding the new European regulation proposed in March, designed to accelerate the process of returning migrants without residency rights to their countries of origin. European Commissioner Magnus Brunner voiced support for Denmark’s efforts to foster an agreement among member states to form the basis for negotiations on the regulation proposal with the European Parliament.

The Slovenian Ministry of the Interior emphasized the necessity for the legal framework to define clear responsibilities for foreigners in cooperating with national authorities throughout the return process, as well as the consequences for non-compliance. “This will ensure a deterrent effect and convey a unified message that illegal presence in the EU will not be tolerated,” remarked Minister Poklukar.

Slovenia also advocates for discussions on innovative migration management strategies that complement the existing migration pact and other frameworks. However, these solutions must align with European law and the international obligations of member states concerning fundamental rights, the ministry asserted. (July 22)

    Never thought I’d see the day when Slovenia becomes the poster child for “let’s make returns great again.” 🙄 Maybe next they’ll start a new trend in ‘who can write the most convoluted legal jargon’ – a real page-turner! 📜

    Looks like Slovenia’s ready to rewrite the rulebook on migrants—because who doesn’t love a good legal reform in summer, right? 😏 Just what we need, more paperwork and a clear message that we’re serious about not being serious. 🥴

    Slovenia’s all in for a dialogue on migrant returns—because who wouldn’t want to add more paperwork to the EU’s ever-growing pile? 😂 Let’s just hope those “clear responsibilities” don’t get lost in translation like my last holiday plans!

    Looks like Slovenia is really rolling up its sleeves for a serious chat about migrant returns—how very ambitious! 🤔 I mean, who knew they were such fans of “return to sender” policies, right? 🥴

    Oh, look at Slovenia, taking the brave step of ensuring that no one feels comfy breaking the rules. I mean, why not just hand out clocks for all those late arrivals, right? ⏰😂
