Kosovo (Serbia): No Forcible Return of Minorities to Kosovo

Amnesty International is extremely concerned that some EU and Council of Europe member states are making preparations to forcibly return to Kosovo persons who Amnesty International considers remain in need of temporary protection as well as others whose claims for refugee status should be considered. Amnesty International is particularly concerned that many of these people are members of minority communities. Amnesty International therefore urges states to refrain from the forcible return of persons currently enjoying temporary protection status, for whom there is a continued international protection need. This document includes specific recommendations.
