Cyprus hosts EU High-Level Network on Returns to speed up coordinated deportations
The EU High-Level Network on Returns met in Nicosia on 1 June, marking the first major migration event of Cyprus’ EU Council Presidency. Officials discussed how to raise the bloc’s return-execution rate, showcased Cyprus’ new Pournara border-procedure centre, and examined shared charter flights and IT interoperability. Faster, coordinated deportations aim to underpin public trust in legal migration pathways.
