EU migration chief comments on Pakistan's Schengen visa refusal rate
Most outlets reported that the EU migration chief, Magnus Brunner, described Pakistan's nearly 50% Schengen visa refusal rate as "too much" and called for easier legal migration channels. The Express Tribune emphasized the EU's desire for more legal migration from Pakistan, while Minute Mirror focused on the high refusal rate and the EU's call for improved travel policies. Both excerpts framed the EU's stance as a request for reform but did not elaborate on the reasons behind the visa rejections or Pakistan's response.
