EMN Annual Report on Migration and Asylum Estonia 2019

Abstract

This report aims to outline the most significant developments in 2019 in the area of migration and asylum in Estonia. It includes an overview of statistics, legislative, policy and practical changes, as well as third sector and public initiatives and debates. There were no major overarching changes in the national migration and asylum system in Estonia. In 2019, the government, however, continued the process of reviewing and developing new national strategies and action plans in the field of migration, asylum and integration, which are expected to be adopted in the beginning of 2020.
