According to the ministry, Russia expressed a desire to further discuss the coordination of procedures for the return of refugees and their deportation is suspended until further notice.
This week it was announced that Norway began to send back to the Russian immigrants who switched rosciysko-Norwegian border and in recent months trying to get status refugee.
In the past year, more than 5,500 migrants from Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq have used the so-called “Arctic route” passing through Moscow, Murmansk and Nikel to get to Norway. Because of the Russian laws prohibiting the border crossing at this location on foot, migrants massively bought up the bikes and drove across the border on two wheels.
All of them had visas to stay in the territory of Russia or fitness for a move to Russia in transit documents. That is, from the point of view of the authorities in Oslo, gives grounds to say that they can apply for asylum even before in Norway.
According to Tuesday’s BBC BBC representative of the Norwegian branch of Amnesty International The first batch of migrant workers gathered at the former military base near the town of Kirkeness that the border with Russia, is prepared to send in buses in the direction of the border crossing.
According to the Norwegian police are now 82 people in a refugee camp Kirkenes taken into custody because of fears that they could escape.
The head of the Norwegian Foreign Minister Børge Brende noted that Norway and Russia are discussing the possibility of sending deported migrants in Murmansk and Moscow by plane.
Norwegian media last year wrote that the number of migrants coming to the country, close to the record level of 1994, when the crisis in the Balkans, made more than 11 thousand Bosniaks to flee to Norway.
