News

On 19-21 November 2025, the General Inspectorate for Immigration (GII) of Romania hosted a Study Visit, which brought together representatives from 11 Prague Process states for an in-depth exchange on labour migration management, legal migration, and digitalisation. The programme combined GII’s expert presentations with site visits to the Constanța County Immigration Service and the Bucharest Immigration Directorate, offering participants a comprehensive overview of Romania’s institutional framework and operational practices on legal and labour migration. Romania is also leading the ongoing Thematic Component 3 on legal and labour migration.

On 18-19 November 2025, the International Centre for Migration Policy Development (ICMPD), together with the Ministry of Asylum and Migration of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, organised the 8th International Border Management Conference (IBMC) in Amsterdam. Held under the theme “Resilient Borders in a Changing World”, this year’s edition brought together more than 200 delegates from 44 countries, including EU Member States, ICMPD partner countries, and representatives of international organisations, agencies, civil society, and human rights institutions. As in previous years, the Prague Process supported the participation of 23 representatives from its participating non-EU states. 

On 4–5 November 2025, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Armenia hosted the Workshop on Strategic Communication for Migration Governance. The meeting brought together Prague Process state representatives, communication experts, and international organisations to exchange experiences and good practices on communicating migration policies effectively and responsibly.

We have the pleasure to inform you that the Prague Process has introduced the regular update of the country factsheets, now featuring the latest migration-related trends and policy developments in Ireland, Poland and Türkiye.

Here are a couple of highlights that offer a glimpse into recent developments. Explore the full version of the factsheets to review the detailed analysis and data. 

The Prague Process Senior Officials’ Meeting (SOM), hosted by Poland’s Ministry of the Interior and Administration, brought together over 70 senior representatives from 31 participating states and key international partners – including the European Commission, EUAA, Frontex, FRA, IOM, UNHCR, and ICMPD – to review migration policy developments, share priorities, and provide strategic direction for the implementation of the Prague Process Action Plan 2023-2027.

As a result of the Prague Process mid-term review (December 2024 - May 2025), Migration Partnership Facility (MPF) produced an Impact Note showcasing key outcomes and the policy significance of the Process. This document explores and reconfirms the continued relevance of the Prague Process as it evolves in line with the political priorities of its Member States and broader global developments. 

The insights and testimonies featured in this Impact Note were collected during the mid-term review of the Prague Process, conducted by Samuel Hall in collaboration with a consortium of six consultancies and NGOs, namely Blomeyer & Sanz, Diversity Development Group, Migration Policy Group, Policy Impact Lab, and Tandans.

The Impact Note is available in English and Russian.
