A small number of asylum seekers from Western countries who received the right to stay in Germany last year are "special cases", writes "Deutsche Welle", saying that those who are denied and can never obtain a visa to enter the country.
The German law guarantees the right to asylum for political persecution of persons, while asylum-seekers coming from Macedonia, Serbia, Albania, BiH and Kosovo will be rejected because Germany has named these countries as "safe origin" by 2015, ie countries where there is no political persecution.
The federal office has since rejected more than 97% of applications for asylum from the Western Balkans.
The Western Balkan asylum seekers who have been rejected have to bear in mind that in the future they will be barred from entry not only in Germany, but in all Schengen countries, the Deutsche Welle notes.
