Mykola Bilousov, Senior Legal Analyst of the Legal Assistance to Refugees and Asylum Seekers programme of the Foundation:
Refugees and asylum seekers in the EU must be protected after their temporary protection expires. Otherwise, they will be forced to return to their dangerous country of origin or remain undocumented. The best option among those analysed would be ensuring the rights guaranteed by temporary protection and offering long-term full integration. Currently, European experts are actively working on such options, and we are pleased that our contribution is in demand.
