Coalition of Albanians of the Presevo Valley MP Riza Halimi requested Tuesday from the Serbian government to make a serious analysis of the reasons for the ethnic Albanians' exodus from Serbia to the Western European countries, adding that it should prevent this by taking urgent measures for improvement of their economic situation.

In the part of the session when the MPs pose questions to the authorities held each Tuesday and Thursday, Halimi asked the government to explain in which manner the measures at border crossings have been tightened.

“In the previous months, I have been trying to launch a topic of the catastrophic economic situation in the municipalities in southern Serbia, where the unemployment rate exceeds 80 percent. I was asking about possible actions by the Serbian government that would prevent the huge migration wave in the last 12 years which has halved the number of Albanians in the Presevo Valley,” Halimi said.
