The German Minister of the Interior, Alexander Dobrindt, acknowledged that there are legal obstacles in the way of establishing "return centers" intended for hosting rejected asylum seekers who cannot be repatriated to their countries of origin.

At a summit on migration, the German Interior Minister highlighted the legal difficulties encountered in the process of creating return centers for migrants. These centers are to be located in third countries, but require the cooperation of these states and the European Commission. Dobrindt mentioned that the divergent opinions among European states complicate the situation, and the details of the collaboration remain unclear.
