Direct EU investment in specific physical facilities through funds like the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF) has included committed funding of approximately €276 million for new centers on the Greek islands, €36 million for centers in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and smaller grants for urgent needs in Greece and Kosovo, totaling several hundred million euros in facility investments alone.
Broader EU migration management funds have allocated billions more:
The AMIF provided around €2.4 billion in emergency assistance between 2014-2020, and the EU Facility for Refugees in Turkey mobilized €6 billion.
Complementing this are significant member state costs, such as Italy's estimated nearly €1 billion over five years for its bilateral processing centers in Albania, or the UK's annual operational cost estimate of £1.67 billion for asylum seeker accommodation in 2024 alone.
Future spending is set to increase substantially; the current EU budget allocates €22.7 billion for migration and border management until 2027, with the European Commission proposing to potentially triple this funding for the 2028-2034 period, reaching up to an estimated €81 billion across relevant funds.
Furthermore, the new Migration Pact introduces a minimum €20,000 per rejected asylum seeker fee for member states opting out of hosting migrants to those that have migrant hubs, creating another mechanism for significant financial bribery to the overall system.
Here's how this breaks down -- local news gets dominated with fear, uncertainty and death. Behind the scenes the elites have already made a pact to accept Europe's bribes to take in migrants in order to offload the trash they took in starting from 2012.
In exchange, the elites in the Balkans promise to keep things as-is without rocking the boat too much. You get your occasional protest, strike, corruption scandal because you can't create uncertainty without it.
The elites stuff their pockets and your community gets overrun with Mohammed and Akhbar from Syria, Afghanistan, etc. but sure - go and protest with a One Piece flag like you're going to change the world.

—🪖 🇷🇸 /🇺🇦 WATCH: Since Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022, an estimated €800 million worth of Serbian ammunition has reached Ukraine’s frontlines via Western and other intermediaries, according to figures cited by the Financial Times.
➡️ Serbia officially maintains a stance of military neutrality and says it only sells to other states, insisting it is not responsible for where the ammunition ultimately ends up.

For Kosovo returning to Serbia? Never say never.
Everyone’s screaming about past wounds, while ignoring the bleeding gash of real, immediate problems that threaten their future.
Let’s take Serbia as an example. Fine—Serbia won’t let go of Kosovo. But how exactly does it plan to reintegrate it? Politically? Militarily? Economically? Do they have a real plan, or are they just riding the same tired wave of nationalist nostalgia?
The truth is, Kosovo was shaped by history, and not just by Tito’s policies. Don’t forget, it was the Italians who flooded the region with tens of thousands of Albanians in the early 1900s. They were the ones who laid the groundwork for today’s demographics, yet the blame always lands on Tito. Convenient, isn’t it?
The memory remains—right there, fresh and potent. So the politicians yank on that hope, that sweet, deceptive copium, because it keeps the masses strung along. It makes them feel powerful, righteous—even when it’s all just smoke and mirrors.
Meanwhile, these same politicians, the ones who’ll chant about Kosovo, are the same ones cutting corners to line their pockets. They’ll mess up federal contracts just to save a few dinars for themselves. They’ll hand out lucrative deals to Chinese firms that can’t deliver—resulting in disaster, like the 16 people who died because of Chinese incompetence. Can't critique them tho! Right? Kosovo is Serbia - no?
And then, instead of facing any consequences, they turn around and award the next Chinese company the contract to build Belgrade’s subway.
It’s a cycle of failure and corruption.
But that’s the Balkans for you. You think your politicians care about your culture, your future? Think again.
So don’t stand there chanting slogans about the past, pretending your politicians are fighting for you, when they’ve already traded your future away. You’re being played, and it’s about time people wake up.

—🇬🇧 /🇲🇰 NEW: The Times reports that the UK has entered formal talks with North Macedonia to open migrant “return hubs” that would see illegal migrants from Britain deported to this country, with London paying Skopje for each person it accepts.
➡️ Migrants sent to North Macedonia would reportedly be able to claim asylum or seek work visas in sectors with labour shortages and would not be detained, as part of a broader UK push for new deterrents to irregular Channel crossings after dropping the Rwanda scheme.

🇪🇺⚡️- The European Union approved "The Pact on Migration and Asylum", a strengthened reform through the creation of a new unified set of rules for EU members regarding the migratory policy.
Interior Ministers of the 27 countries agreed to validate three texts from the EU Commission. Arrivals of immigrants will be more strictly controlled and the first "return hubs" outside the EU's borders will be created in order to house asylum seekers who have been denied entry.
A new distribution of asylees within the EU was approved as well to ease the tension for Greece and Italy.

Guess where these "return hubs" for the unwanted pile of migrants are going to be located?

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban vowed on Monday that Hungary will not implement the European Union's Migration Pact, declaring that "rebellion begins" against the bloc's immigration policies.
Responding to the European Council's decision earlier today to establish the so-called solidarity pool as "one of the main elements of the EU’s Pact on Migration and Asylum," Orban said that "Brussels is attempting to force Hungary to pay even more or take migrants in," calling it "unacceptable."
"We will not take a single migrant in, and we will not pay for other migrants," he concluded.
Orban also met with Turkish President Erdogan where they received confirmation that Turkey will guarantee transit of Russian gas to Hungary.

Macedonia entered formal discussions with the UK earlier in the Autumn, The Times reported.
It’s one of several nations sounding out the idea of hosting overseas hubs aimed at easing pressure on Britain’s borders.
Under the proposal, migrants removed from the UK would be allowed to claim asylum in Macedonia.

Whether it’s Kosovo, Serbia, Croatia, or Moldova, it’s a piece of land. You physically cannot move it.
But you, dear reader, can be replaced in less than 20 years by waves of migrant Pajeets and Aladin's, for a few billion euros a year. Peacefully. No gunshots. No drone warfare. Betrayed by your own people.
I've been talking about this issue for well over a year because this is the key issue. That’s why I really don’t care about covering outdated / nostalgic issues like Kosovo or the pointless political maneuvering in the RS or pointless protests in Bulgaria. (Until something actually happens)
They want you focused on the past, so you won’t notice what’s happening in the now and the future.
