During the European Political Community summit in Budapest, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced new agreements with Serbia, North Macedonia, and Kosovo aimed at reducing illegal immigration and human trafficking. Highlighting the urgent need for coordinated international action, Starmer emphasized the responsibility of all European nations to combat the deadly practices of human smugglers. The UK’s initiative builds on existing partnerships, aiming to enhance information sharing and disrupt the criminal networks exploiting vulnerable individuals. Starmer’s discussions will center on collective responses to organized migration crime and collaboration with transit and source countries.
