Für abgelehnte Asylbewerber: Frederiksen: Rückkehrzentren rücken näher

Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen reported progress in negotiations for the construction of return centers for rejected asylum seekers in third countries, as told to the Danish news agency Ritzau. "The negotiations are going very well, and we have come much closer to establishing a center outside Europe, which some of us have been working on for years," she said at the European Political Community Summit in Dublin.

Frederiksen did not provide details but promised more information next week. Dutch media had previously reported that an official announcement of the plans would be made at a migration conference in Vienna on Monday, mentioning Rwanda as a possible location for the detention center. Confirmation of this was initially not available.

The planned detention centers, also known as "Return Hubs," are intended for individuals who need to be deported but cannot return to their home countries due to refusal, such as in the case of the country of origin. Germany has been driving this project jointly with Austria, Denmark, Greece, and the Netherlands for some time. Last month, EU member states definitively created the legal basis for the establishment of such detention centers in third countries, with the EU Parliament having agreed to it earlier.
