The Norwegian Minister of Justice, Aud Inger Aure said in a letter to Grethe Fossum from the Labour Party that no Kosovo-albanian refugees will be returned to Kosovo at present. However, the refugees, some of them living in Norway for more than two years, will not be given asylum in Norway. Norway's policy in this area is exactly what the UNHCR warned Norway against, that is to let the approximately 1,000 Kosovo Albanian refugees into Norway, without knowing the result of their applications for asylum.
