British newspaper\u00a0Sunday Times\u00a0has published a report on the returns of Albanians from the UK to Albania, which highlights that many of them choose to return voluntarily, taking advantage of a British government scheme. Under this scheme, returning citizens receive 1.200 pounds.<\/p>\n

The article brings up the case of Ardit Shehu, a 32-year-old from Kuk\u00ebs, who, after his asylum application was rejected, returned to his homeland. He describes Britain as \u201cfinished\u201d, highlighting the difficulties of life for immigrants there.<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0Sunday Times, the agreement between British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Albanian counterpart Edi Rama in 2022 has brought a major drop in illegal immigration. Britain has deported over 13.000 Albanians, three times more than in the 2010s, while arrivals by small boats have fallen by 95%.<\/p>\n

Albanian Interior Minister Ervin Hoxha has described the cooperation with London as a “success story” and expressed that Albania is grateful for this support.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the former head of a British project to prevent immigration, Edval Zoto, has said that the agreement was not used for political purposes by Tirana, but mainly to maintain good relations with Britain.\/Albinfo<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sunday Times: Albanians receive \u00a31,200 for voluntary returns from Britain NEWS Express newspaper 25\/08\/2025 23:49 British newspaper\u00a0Sunday Times\u00a0has…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":373457,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5018,3,4],"tags":[748,393,4884,1144,712,16,15,1764],"class_list":{"0":"post-373456","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-britain","8":"category-uk","9":"category-united-kingdom","10":"tag-britain","11":"tag-england","12":"tag-great-britain","13":"tag-northern-ireland","14":"tag-scotland","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom","17":"tag-wales"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115091869856218714","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/373456","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=373456"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/373456\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/373457"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=373456"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=373456"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=373456"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
