ATHENS, Greece (AP) - The confirmed number of dead from last week's shipwreck of an overloaded migrant smuggling boat in the western Aegean Sea has increased to 27 after another body was found on an island just east of Athens, Greek authorities said Wednesday.
Migrant returns are facilitated through a newly established office that coordinates between different state ministries and agencies including the Asylum Service, police and the European border agency Frontex.
NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) - Ethnically divided Cyprus ranks first among European Union member nations in the number of migrants it repatriates relative to its population of just over a million people, the country's interior minister said Thursday.
Applications for VOLOS KOMOTINI TRANSFER asylum in the Mediterranean island nation rose to 18,345 between January and October of this year, Nouris said, adding that the number of people with pending asylum claims or already granted a more limited protection status together is equal to more than 6% of Cyprus´ population.
They're worth it for the sake of the beauties that lie hidden away in the churches and monasteries of these remote villages. And the region possesses some glorious churches, hidden away within its mountain stronghold The Pelion is only a few hours' drive from one of Greece's most astonishing treasures: the monasteries of the Meteora, things to do in Pelion perched on sheer spikes of rock that rise from a desolate plain.
It's easy, nevertheless, to be distracted from their beauty by your first encounter with a sullen cafekeeper, ready to charge you €30 for a salad and a glass of win The villages, each with a breathtaking view of cloud-capped peaks, are the secret glory of the Pelion.
A splendid new highway swoops up to a mountain-top ski resort - which by September is populated only by a couple of hoary shepherds attending obstreperous goat Driving up the mountain roads, it's impossible to miss the evidence of development. New houses have recently started to mushroom from the hillsides; bulldozers leave a red clay marker of their daily, inexorable progress.
Nouris said some 95% of all asylum-seekers enter from the breakaway Turkish Cypriot north and cross a United Nations-controlled buffer zone to apply in the south, where the island nation's internationally recognized government is seated.
The minister told a meeting in Nicosia of the European Commission´s High-Level Network on Returns that Cypriot authorities overcame "bureaucratic procedures" and signed agreements with countries including India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Vietnam that have enabled so many repatriations.
