The Minister of Interior, Bledi Çuçi, was welcomed by the British Home Secretary, Suella Braverman.
"With our British counterpart, Suella Braverman, we discussed bilateral cooperation in addressing complex issues such as illegal immigration and organized crime, transnational phenomena that cannot in any way be identified with certain ethnicities. I shared with my counterpart the concern that it is unacceptable to single out and stereotype the Albanian community only by some characters of the illegal world," Çuçi said.
Further during the meeting, he emphasized that the truth is that Albanians are a vital and integrated community in Great Britain.
The Minister of the Interior made a specific proposal to amnesty Albanians without visas in the United Kingdom, but who work honestly and do not have a criminal record.
"Our approach is that illegal immigration cannot be addressed as a problem without improving immigration conditions through legal channels. At this point, I asked my counterpart Braverman to review once again the treatment regime for Albanian citizens living and working in Great Britain, to facilitate them in relation to new employment opportunities or seasonal movements. I also asked her to grant amnesty to every Albanian without a visa, but who works honestly and does not have a criminal record responsible," said Minister Çuçi.
