Over 350,000 Kosovo citizens live in Germany

This has nothing to do with the work of the Kosovo Embassy in Germany or the Governments of Kosovo and Germany. Kosovo as a new state and its citizens living in Germany slowly but are safely “listed” at all levels of power in Germany. The data for Kosovo citizens exists, but since our state is not yet a member of the UN, difficulties arise in official publishing... All of this brings us to the conclusion: few Kosovo citizens in Germany are not! On the contrary: According to data (“gad that the official”) are more than 350,000 citizens of Kosovo -- with citizenship of RKS, with RG citizenship or even dual citizenship in Germany”, the Embassy of the Republic of Kosovo's Berlin reportedly was posted.

Otherwise, the number of individuals from foreign backgrounds in Germany has reached a new record in 2017. As noted, the Federal Bureau of Statistics in the Federal Republic of Germany lived last year 19,3 million women, men and children with migration background. That represents 4.4% more than a year ago. The total share of foreigners in the German population accounts for 23.6%. In Germany a person is called a migration background when he himself or one of his parents was not born with German citizenship. About 51% of the population with migration background are Germans, 49% have a foreign passport.

Nearly 3 million people of Turkish origin

Among 19,3 million individuals of foreign origin in Germany, 2.8 million are of Turkish descent, 2.1 million are of Polish origin, 1.4 million Russian-born, 1.2 million of Kazakh origin, and 0.9 million of Romanian descent.

The data is based on microcensus, sporadic registration where 1% of the population in Germany is asked each year. Migratory status was asked in private residents, not in community centres.
