The UK is set to sign new agreements with Serbia, North Macedonia, and Kosovo to tackle people-smuggling networks, aiming to disrupt illegal migration routes utilized by nearly 100,000 migrants last year. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer will announce these plans at the European Political Community summit in Budapest, stressing the need for enhanced intelligence sharing to dismantle these criminal operations. With over 31,000 people crossing the Channel this year, Starmer calls for collective international efforts to confront organized immigration crime and reduce migrant deaths during dangerous crossings.
