The European news network Euractiv reports that the European Commission has not yet submitted visa requests for a Taliban government delegation to visit Brussels. The group was expected to attend a technical meeting regarding migration issues.

A Belgian Foreign Ministry spokesperson stated that visa applications must be submitted by the individuals themselves, which could take weeks. The meeting will focus on the return of Afghan migrants accused of crimes or seen as security threats.

Hosting Taliban government representatives in Brussels has sparked heavy criticism from European lawmakers and rights organizations. Recently, over thirty parliament members signed a letter demanding the rejection of these visas.
