Text
This report examines Milan’s centralised operational model, where asylum procedures, return counselling and Assisted Voluntary Return and Reintegration are closely linked within national institutions. The visit highlights the advantages of early and continuous counselling, direct coordination between authorities and clear procedural pathways. It also raises questions on participation, feedback and adaptability where civil society involvement is limited. The report is especially relevant for readers interested in institutional alignment, operational efficiency and the balance between speed, safeguards and trust.
