The government of Austria has announced that it will sign an agreement with Uzbekistan next month to facilitate deportation procedures, including the return of Afghan nationals to Afghanistan via the Central Asian country.
The Austrian Interior Ministry said on Wednesday that the agreement is intended to streamline deportation processes.
According to The European Conservative, an Austrian government statement said that the country’s Interior and Foreign Ministers are scheduled to travel to Uzbekistan on May 7 to sign the agreement.
Interior Ministry spokesperson Markus Haindl said: “It is an important agreement for the transit of people facing deportation to their countries of origin—especially Afghanistan.”
The report adds that since last year, Austria has deported several Afghan and Syrian nationals.
