“Interpellation with Meksi in the September session” Clandestine emigration of Albanians under pressure from asylum requests “Clandestine emigration of Albanians under the pressure of asylum requests” In 1992, around 300,000 citizens left, mainly specialists and young people. During 1993, the number of emigrants returning to the homeland increased. Also, among those requesting to return, there were only 5–6 genuine cases, apart from some for family reasons. But in 1995, Albanian emigration to the West became a real problem for the Albanian government. Through individual, group, and mainly clandestine departures, 5,000 Albanians were crossing the border every month. Indeed, in March–April 1996 this process intensified, which, more than anything else, is a consequence of the political crisis and the lack of hope for a better life in the country. The chairman of the Parliamentary Commission for Social Affairs and Labor, Et'hem Ruka, will seek in the parliamentary commission for clandestine emigration to be discussed especially in Parliament with Prime Minister Aleksandër Meksi. The leading figure of the socialist opposition, Fatos Nano, has been in prison since 1993. On the other hand, given the recent tragic events, Godo’s statement about migration and the events involving emigrants in Italy is understandable. In Albania, the Kosovo issue is tied to the different policies of the government in Tirana within the overall crisis. Parallel to the issue of fighting human trafficking, in other innocent cases, in Albania there continue to be efforts to help those who want to leave the country. The chairman of the Albanian Parliament, Skënder Gjinushi, will raise in Parliament the issue of discussions on migration, and not only because of the serious consequences for the labor market. In this framework, the problems of the legal regulation of the phenomenon of movement and of intermediary practices linked to youth employment will be addressed. At the same time, the consequences of illegal movement will also be discussed, for citizens who try to cross borders without documents, as well as issues of organizing the relevant employment agencies, regulating internships/practices and payments, which are still in process. Because of the lack of experience with this population movement, the government has not yet succeeded in providing the necessary institutional mechanisms to deal with its consequences. According to sources from the Ministry of Labor, emigration has taken such proportions that it requires serious state intervention, not only to register and protect emigrants, but also to prevent possible trafficking and their exploitation. For this reason, various representatives of Parliament have asked for these issues to be placed on the agenda of the upcoming parliamentary session.
