CoE’s Hammarberg says Kosovo repatriation must stop

Council of Europe (CoE) Commissioner for Human Rights Thomas Hammarberg on Friday (February 12th) urged EU member states to stop the forced repatriation of Kosovo citizens, arguing that this only worsens the economic situation. “Kosovo is not ready to receive a larger scale of people returning from other countries at this stage,” Hammarberg said in Kosovo where he wrapped up a three-day visit Saturday.
