UK to use drones to tackle migrants in Western Balkans

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : The Western Balkans is a key passage for migrants trying to enter the EU.
49% : The Prime Minister will hold talks later with Albania's socialist leader Edi Rama, who won a record fourth term in office in elections last weekend on a platform of taking the former communist state into the EU.
44% : 'Every step we take to tackle illegal migration overseas, cripple the criminal networks that facilitate it and stem the finance streams that fund it is delivering safer streets in the UK and reducing the strain on taxpayer-funded services.' The UK is already funding new drones to track migrants being trafficked through the mountainous border region with Kosovo, where vehicle access is difficult.
