We are delighted to share with you the January–March 2025 edition of the Quarterly Review, featuring the latest updates from the Prague Process.

In January, the traditional beginning-of-the-year Policy Talk assessed what migration policy developments to expect in 2025. Furthermore, ICMPD’s Regional Migration Outlook for Eastern Europe and Central Asia pinpoints six issues to look out for in 2025, helping to guide our actions and migration policies. February and March saw the rollout of two foundational modules of the European Asylum Curriculum for asylum and reception officials from the Eastern Partnership and Central Asian states – a result of the long-lasting cooperation with the EU Agency for Asylum (EUAA). Our remote activities further entailed a webinar on forced displacement in Ukraine three years into the war.

Ukraine’s Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Unity paid a visit to ICMPD Director General to discuss the ongoing and future collaboration. More recently, the Head of Prague Process Secretariat and ICMPD Eastern Europe and Central Asia region visited Kyiv to follow up on the next steps agreed.

This issue also presents insights from the World Border Security Congress 2025. The Ministry of Interior of Montenegro took part in this event and shared insights on the current state of play in border management and the benefits drawn from the Prague Process.

The newest publications of the Migration Observatory assess in how far Russia’s attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure have brought further displacement, as well as the regional repercussions of Russia’s migration policy. Finally, this issue also highlights the opportunities offered by the Training Academy and its e-Learning Platform.

The issue is available for download in English and Russian.
