Do not spend money going to France to seek asylum!

Do not spend money going to France to seek asylum!

There are 110 Albanians who returned voluntarily from Metz, France because they had entered the border illegally and could not obtain asylum. In the announcement made public, the State Police again calls on the citizens not to spend money going to France in the hope that they will get asylum, nor to fall prey to the scams of smugglers as the chances are zero. This is because Albania is on the list of safe countries.

The full announcement can be found here:

The repatriation and voluntary return operations of Albanian citizens who have sought asylum in EU countries continue.

This afternoon, in Rinas, 110 Albanian citizens, illegally staying in France and in the Schengen area, were repatriated from Metz, France, by charter, who returned voluntarily.

The repatriation operations were carried out in cooperation with Frontex and the French Immigration Office.

The State Police appeals to all Albanian citizens who are in one of the countries of the Schengen area, not to make any effort to apply for asylum and not to make any expenses by paying those who want to benefit by deceiving them that they will provide them with asylum, as the result in both cases will be negative.

Albania is a safe country and the chances of getting asylum are zero.
The State Police, in cooperation with counterparts, will continue repatriation operations and strengthen measures by increasing patrols on the green border.
