(8 years ago)The trend of migration of foreigners to Switzerland, in particular of those from EU countries and EFTA, is on the decline. As shown by an unspoiled Monday statistics by the SEM (The State Department for Migration) during 2017, there were 20 percent less than a year ago, citizens from the EU and EFTA [...]
Nevertheless, the largest number of foreigners standing in Switzerland continue to be that of German, Italian, and Portuguese citizens. Next are the French as the first from a country outside the EU and the fifth in general are Kosovars, broadcast albinfo.ch.
As the graph published by the SEM shows, the number of citizens of Kosovo standing in Switzerland at the end of 2017 has been 112.109 people, accounting for 5.5% of the total number of foreigners in this country. This is about Kosovo citizens, and neither do Kosovars who have already received Swiss citizenship nor those who still have the Serbian passport.
However, Albanians according to ethnicity are not counted here, since a considerable number of them are citizens of Macedonia, Albania, Serbia and Montenegro, writes albinfo.ch. For this reason, the total number of Albanians is not possible to be extracted. The figures that speak of about 300 thousand Albanians living in Switzerland remain at the level of assumptions.
A year ago, the number of Ksoova citizens in Switzerland was 111,496, which reportedly over the following year had a slight increase of about 600. The percentage that make up in the foreign population remains the same: 5.5%
The number of foreigners, according to their state affiliation, is the following: In first place are the Italians, with 319,367 persons or 15.6% to the extent of all foreigners. In second place came the Germans, totaling 305,785, or 14.9%, followed by the Portuguese, who by 262,012 are third. In fourth place are the citizens of France, with 131.506 or 6.4% of foreigners in general.
Kosovars, as already said, are in fifth place, writes albinfo.ch. Next come Spaniards, totaling 83,709 people, followed by Turks (67262), citizens of Macedonia (65.763, huge ethnic Albanian majority). Citizens of Serbia, 63218 likes, come in line right after those in Macedonia.
