European Commissioner for Home Affairs Ylva Johansson said that the EU must manage migration together with its Western Balkans partners, including returning illegal migrants to their countries of origin and fighting human trafficking.
Human traffickers are extremely well-organised in the Western Balkans and they should be fought together. Without close cooperation with those countries, we won’t be successful in the fight against traffickers, she told the press in Brussels ahead of an annual meeting between the EU and Western Balkan justice and interior ministers on Thursday.
