As shameful and unworthy of a policy compared with the principle of humnaity described Heiko Kauffmann, the spokesperson of the Nation-wide Human Rights Organisation for Refugees PRO ASYL, the results of the yesterday phone conference of the Ministers of the Interior regarding the reception of refugees from Kosovo.
„As long as the mechanisms of the defensive measures against refugees are effective, so the perfidious logic of the Ministers of the Interior, a plan isn’t necessary for their reception. This fulfills the facts of the case of failure to give help“, delared Heiko Kauffmann, spokesperson of PRO ASYL.
Who wants to maintain durably the reception capacity of Albania and Macedonia as neighbouring countries of Kosovo and to prevent the total destabilisation of the region, would have to start the immediate reception of refugees, so Kauffmann.
In connection with this Kauffmann referred to the air- and sealift started by Italy yesterday for refugees from the war region who have sought refuge in Albania.
Furthermore Kauffmann criticised sharply, that the Ministers of the Interior failed to grant finally to refugees from the Kosovo already living in Germany a status of cicil war refugees and to issue a formal deportation ban according to § 54 Aliens Law.
