Immigrants

This winter, cities in Germany faced another influx of refugees, but this time it wasn't Ukrainians fleeing war, but people from Western Balkan countries seeking to escape their countries' harsh winters and poor living conditions. social.

Cologne, for example, has registered more immigrants from the Western Balkans in recent months than during the Yugoslav Wars that ran from 1991 to 2001, according to the western city's press officer, Katja Reuter. "About 40% of refugees come from Ukraine and other nationalities are over 60%. Most of them come from Albania," Reuters said. Now, the city has reached its official capacity of how many refugees it can accept, having an overstay rate of 107.23%.

The Western Balkans route was, in 2022, the most used for illegal border crossings in the EU, according to the bloc's external border agency. Frontex recorded 145,600 illegal crossings through the Western Balkans, an increase of 136% from the previous year and the highest number observed since 2015.

This route was used by a variety of nationalities with nationals from Syria, Afghanistan and Turkey making up the largest number of detections. Now, the EU has decided to increase its presence at the borders of the Western Balkans with Frontex soon to deploy staff there, which will be the first time the agency will have staff monitoring borders outside the EU to curb illegal immigration.

Cologne does not grant refugees from the Balkans until they receive legal asylum status from German immigration authorities, which can often take months to years to achieve. But it continues to house those who come to the city to fight homelessness.

Upper Bavaria, of which Munich is the capital, currently hosts 850 migrants from the Western Balkans, nearly double the number of last year, although the total number of arrivals is uncertain.

Most of those arriving are from North Macedonia, Albania, Kosovo and Serbia, and while the numbers are currently low, rising tensions between the latter two countries could lead to more migrants to the region in the future.

Tensions have risen between the two neighboring countries since November when Kosovo took a routine decision to ban Serbs living in the country from using Belgrade-issued license plates in the country. Like its Russian ally, Serbia has refused to recognize Kosovo's independence and rising tensions have caused concerns for Western countries./SCAN
