The same as for asylum seekers under normal determination procedure.
Repatriation
A repatriation programme, financed by the Belgian government and implemented by the
International Organization for Migration (IOM), was open to Kosovo Albanians under temporary
protection, provided they register before 2 March 2000, except for families with school-aged
children, who may register until 3 June 2000. Asylum seekers are excluded from these
provisions.
According to the programme, persons who wish to repatriate may receive the following
assistance:
– payment of travel costs (plane ticket);
– freight costs for personal belongings up to BEF 25,000 [EUR 620];
– allowance of BEF 100,000 [EUR 2,479] per adult and BEF 50,000 [EUR 1,239] per minor up to
a maximum of BEF 500,000 [EUR 12,395] per family. 60% of this amount is paid on departure,
whilst the remaining 40% are paid between two and six months after repatriation, provided that
the initial 60% have been used for rebuilding the house.
Kosovo Albanians who have repatriated have no right to return to Belgium, should they regret
their decision.
