Details
There are difficulties in returning such people who violated the law, traitors, collaborators. As I said, there is nothing to add here. There will probably be changes to the legislation proposed by this team. We will see this plan and draw conclusions. I was told that the extradition process is very complicated. Countries do not release or deport people who have this article for treason. Because they file a lawsuit and claim political persecution. Second, there are difficulties with some countries. You know that there are countries in the EU from which it is difficult to “get” someone. It is difficult with Austria. There is a very interesting example of border crossings, for example, we have very strong relations with Poland in this area. There are those who crossed the border illegally, and we have an agreement with the Polish side that if they crossed illegally, they would send such people back to us
He noted that, for example, there are no such agreements with Moldova, Romania, or Hungary.
