Greece’s deputy foreign minister, Tasos Chatzivasileiou, says the EU’s next budget should include funding for migration solutions. In an interview with Europe Today, he calls on the EU to “find the adequate resources” to support what he describes as “innovative” approaches to migration challenges.
One example he cites is the use of “offshore migrant return hubs.” The proposal is presented as part of broader efforts to manage migration flows, though the sources do not specify detailed plans, locations, or timelines. The emphasis across the reporting is on budget priorities and financing, rather than on disputes over legality, operational design, or which EU institutions would implement such measures.
While the coverage focuses on the Greek official’s position, it does not provide contrasting views from other member states, the European Commission, or EU lawmakers in these excerpts. No additional figures or official EU budget proposals are included, so the reporting reflects a call for resourcing rather than an adopted policy or finalized budget line.
