Citizens from eight countries of the world, including Albania, will find it more difficult from today to obtain asylum in Belgium, as they must present strong and convincing evidence that their country is not safe, especially for them.

On July 10, the Official Gazette of Belgium published a revised list of countries outside the European Union that are considered safe countries of origin, consisting of Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Republic of North Macedonia, Kosovo, Montenegro, Serbia , India and Georgia.

According to the country's Office of the Commissioner General for Refugees and Stateless Persons (CGRS), the listing of a country of origin as safe can have some specific consequences for the procedure that applicants for international protection must go through in this office and for the procedure of appeals to the Council on Foreign Law Affairs.

The decision on the new list was taken as early as April 7, but it was published in the Official Gazette only last Monday. The list is revised every year and the same countries have been on it since 2020.

According to the European Migration Network, over 100,000 people applied for protection in Belgium last year alone, over 63,000 of whom were Ukrainians with temporary protection status.

Over 36,000 more people applied for international protection, which is 7,000 less than in 2015, but an increase compared to other recent years. In the same year, 2022, 32,141 were first-time applications, 4,652 subsequent applications and also another 71 people who arrived in Belgium through resettlement.
