Germany declared Montenegro a safe country, ie without the right to azil

Montenegrin media published on October 29. The decision taken by the German authorities regarding refugees from Montenegro will come into force and will be implemented in practice from November 1, 2015. Such a statement was made by the German Ambassador to Montenegro Gudrun Steinikeker. According to her, the first Montenegrin citizens who are in Germany and asked for azil will be returned to Montenegro in the coming weeks. Citizens of Kosovo, Albania and Macedonia are now returning.

According to her, in the Embassy there is no exact information about how many Montenegrin refugees will be returned back to Montenegro from Germany, also no information how many arrived in Germany. However, she said, in just one month in July, more than 2,400 refugees from Montenegro came to Germany.

Steinacker explained that since Montenegro has been proclaimed a safe country, all refugees who are already in Germany and who have arrived and are still arriving, the procedure for processing the application for asylum will take place in a shortened time.

According to her, the reasons for coming Montenegrin refugees are purely economic, and therefore have no soil for azil (asil, asyl - the right of asylum). Accordingly, all those who unreasonably bring an application for asylum - sooner or later, and without exception, leave Germany. Therefore, according to Steinikker, she does not advise going to Germany, and through an application for azil to try to obtain temporary or permanent residence in Germany, as one of the results of such a way, there can be a ban on entry to Germany.

According to her, such a small country like Montenegro will get a sufficient advantage if it joins NATO. This is the Alliance in which all members commit themselves to resolve conflicts peacefully and in serious situations help each other at the international level. Membership in NATO, she said, will strengthen the image of Montenegro, will give confidence in the democratic direction of the country's development.

According to Steinikker, holding a referendum on the country's accession to NATO is an internal political issue in which, as a representative of a foreign state, it does not interfere. She also said she was not sure whether the information that the majority of Montenegrin citizens are against Euro-Atlantic integration is true, given that most of the citizens she knows support the accession to the EU.

In August this year, the media published that German Interior Minister Thomas de Mezier said it is completely unacceptable that 40% of refugees come to Germany from the Balkans. According to him, this is a shame for Europe.

Also in August 2015, the German authorities published a video on the return of refugees as a warning for refugees from the Balkans (Bosnia Herzegovina, Serbia, Kosovo, Albania, Montenegro). In addition to the refugees from Syria and other countries where the war is going on, Germany is not able to cope with the flow of immigrants from the Balkans. The video shows how they are sent, warning that they will be handed an account for several thousand euros, for their sending, and that they will be banned from entering Germany. From Germany appealed to all citizens from the Balkans: Do not destroy your life. Use your knowledge and skills to develop the country economically, instead of asking for an azil.

See the video story

As the media published in August 2015, out of 180,000 refugees from countries where the war is in progress, 70,000 came from the Balkans. All those who come from Kosovo are returned in one month. In the first six months of 2015, 29,000 citizens came from Kosovo for azil, the largest number of people from Kosovo, in second place, after the refugees from Syria. Germany intended to reduce the refugee allowance so that it, the allowance, was not an incentive for the azil for those who do not need asylum.
