Kosovo accepts US request to host third-party deportees
- Kosovo agreed in 2025 to temporarily host up to 50 third-country migrants deported annually from the United States under a new migration arrangement.
- This agreement aligns with the Trump administration’s wider initiative to increase deportations by securing agreements with countries willing to temporarily receive foreign nationals who are not their own citizens.
- Kosovo, a European country with 1.6 million people and U.S. support since its 2008 independence, emphasized selecting migrants based on rule-of-law and public order criteria.
- The Kosovo embassy said up to 50 individuals may be temporarily relocated to Kosovo to help ensure they are returned securely to their countries of origin amid uncertainty about their exact nationalities.
- The arrangement strengthens Kosovo’s ties with the U.S., reflects ongoing deportation policies, and may provide Kosovo financial and diplomatic benefits amid regional migration challenges.
