Analysis
The domestic asylum legislation does not contain provisions on the possibility of granting refugee status on a prima facie basis (group determination). The procedure for considering the application includes:
- interviewing the applicant;
- verifying the authenticity of the documents submitted and the reliability of the information provided;
- preparing a conclusion based on the results of the application review;
- making a decision on recognizing the person as a refugee.
This indicates that each application for refugee status is considered individually, and a decision is made on each case separately.
