About 300 Kosovars have sought asylum this year alone

Only in the first quarter of 2019 have some 265 Kosovars sought asylum in European countries and the Schengen area for the first time.

The number of Kosovars who have sought asylum for the first time in the states of Europe and the Schengen area is 265 people, said the MPB's response.

And during 2018 that number has reached 3,000 and 515 persons seeking asylum.

The number of Kosovars who have sought asylum for the first time in the states of Europe and the Schengen area during 2018 is 3515, the MPB response reported.

This data as it has revealed MPBs are based on Eurostat.

But statistics published in international media, the country's prime minister, Ramush Haradinaj, called them unrealistic.

This he did after a meeting with German Ambassador Christian Heldt.

“I had the pleasure of sharing with Ambassador Heldt the last real migration statistics, where Kosovo clearly shows there is no risk of migration, marking the smallest trend over the years with only 723 cases of migration requirements in 2018<18x1>, Haradinaj wrote on Facebook.

The age of Kosovars seeking asylum in European countries and the Schengen area ranges from 24 to 44.

Kosovars demand asylum mostly in France, where there are about 58% of the requirements, while Germany ranks 16% after that, Italy follows 9%, Sweden 4% and other countries 9%.
