MED VLADO REPUBLIKE SLOVENIJE IN VLADO REPUBLIKE MAKEDONIJE O PONOVNEM SPREJEMU OSEB, KATERIH VSTOP V DRŽAVO IN/ALI BIVANJE V NJEJ STA V NASPROTJU Z NOTRANJIM PRAVOM
Vlada Republike Slovenije in Vlada Republike Makedonije (v nadaljevanju: pogodbenici) sta se
z željo, da v duhu dobrega sodelovanja in na medsebojni podlagi olajšata ponoven sprejem oseb, katerih vstop v državo in/ali bivanje v njej sta v nasprotju z notranjim pravom,
dogovorili naslednje:
I. PONOVEN SPREJEM DRŽAVLJANOV POGODBENIC
1. člen
(1) Vsaka pogodbenica mora na zahtevo druge pogodbenice ponovno sprejeti na svoje ozemlje vsako osebo, ki ne izpolnjuje ali ne izpolnjuje več pogojev za vstop ali bivanje, ki veljajo na ozemlju pogodbenice prosilke, če se ugotovi ali utemeljeno domneva, da ima ta oseba državljanstvo zaprošene pogodbenice.
(2) Državljanstvo se lahko ugotavlja ali utemeljeno domneva na podlagi dokumentov, navedenih v prilogi k temu sporazumu. Državljanstvo se lahko utemeljeno domneva tudi na podlagi drugih podatkov. Če se državljanstvo utemeljeno domneva, se le-to ugotavlja v sodelovanju z najbližjim diplomatsko-konzularnim predstavništvom zaprošene pogodbenice.
(3) Pogodbenica prosilka mora osebo pod istimi pogoji ponovno sprejeti, če se z nadaljnjim preverjanjem ugotovi, da oseba v trenutku, ko je zapustila ozemlje pogodbenice prosilke, ni imela državljanstva zaprošene pogodbenice.
(4) Določbe tega člena se uporabljajo tudi za vsako osebo, ki se sklicuje na svojo prošnjo za odpust iz državljanstva, če se pristojni organi o njej še niso dokončno odločili.
II. PONOVEN SPREJEM DRŽAVLJANOV TRETJIH DRŽAV IN OSEB BREZ DRŽAVLJANSTVA
2. člen
(1) Vsaka pogodbenica mora na zahtevo druge pogodbenice ponovno sprejeti na svoje ozemlje državljana tretje države ali osebo brez državljanstva, ki ne izpolnjuje ali ne izpolnjuje več pogojev za vstop ali bivanje, ki veljajo na ozemlju pogodbenice prosilke, če se ugotovi, da je taka oseba vstopila na ozemlje pogodbenice prosilke po bivanju na ozemlju zaprošene pogodbenice ali potovanju čezenj.
(2) Vsaka pogodbenica mora na zahtevo druge pogodbenice ponovno sprejeti državljana tretje države ali osebo brez državljanstva, ki ne izpolnjuje ali ne izpolnjuje več pogojev za vstop ali bivanje, ki veljajo na ozemlju pogodbenice prosilke, če ima taka oseba veljaven vizum ali kako drugo veljavno dovoljenje za bivanje, ki ga je izdala zaprošena pogodbenica.
3. člen
Obveznost ponovnega sprejema, določena v 2. členu, ne velja, kadar gre za:
a) državljane tretjih držav, ki imajo skupno državno mejo s pogodbenico prosilko;
b) državljane tretjih držav ali osebe brez državljanstva, ki so po zapustitvi ozemlja zaprošene pogodbenice ali po vstopu na ozemlje pogodbenice prosilke od slednje dobili vizum ali dovoljenje za bivanje;
c) državljane tretjih držav ali osebe brez državljanstva, ki so zadnjih šest mesecev bivali na ozemlju pogodbenice prosilke;
d) državljane tretjih držav ali osebe brez državljanstva, ki jim je pogodbenica prosilka priznala bodisi status begunca na podlagi določb Ženevske konvencije o statusu beguncev z dne 28. julija 1951 in določb Newyorškega protokola o statusu beguncev z dne 31. januarja 1967 ali status osebe brez državljanstva na podlagi Newyorške konvencije o statusu oseb brez državljanstva z dne 28. septembra 1954;
e) državljane tretjih držav ali osebe brez državljanstva, ki jih je zaprošena pogodbenica dejansko vrnila v njihovo matično državo ali v kako drugo tretjo državo.
4. člen
Pogodbenica prosilka soglaša s ponovnim sprejemom na svoje ozemlje tistih državljanov tretjih držav ali oseb brez državljanstva, za katere bi zaprošena pogodbenica po ustreznem preverjanju ugotovila, da v času odhoda z ozemlja pogodbenice prosilke ne ustrezajo določbam 2. in 3. člena tega sporazuma.
III. POSTOPEK PONOVNEGA SPREJEMA
5. člen
(1) Zaprošena pogodbenica je dolžna brez odlašanja odgovoriti na prošnjo za ponoven sprejem, v vsakem primeru pa najkasneje v petnajstih dneh. Vsako zavrnitev ponovnega sprejema je treba utemeljiti.
(2) Zaprošena pogodbenica mora najpozneje v enem mesecu ponovno sprejeti osebo, za katero je bil potrjen ponoven sprejem. To obdobje se lahko podaljša na zahtevo pogodbenice prosilke.
6. člen
Zaprošena pogodbenica mora pogodbenici prosilki izdati potrdilo o ponovnem sprejemu, vključno z identifikacijskimi podatki in morebitnimi dokumenti osebe, za katero se zahteva ponoven sprejem. Kadar se ponoven sprejem izvede brez spremstva, mora biti pogodbenica prosilka o tem pisno obveščena.
7. člen
Pogodbenica prosilka krije stroške prevoza oseb, ki jih je treba ponovno sprejeti, do meje zaprošene pogodbenice. Pogodbenica prosilka po potrebi krije vse stroške ponovnega sprejema oseb.
IV. TRANZIT V PRIMERU ZAVRNITVE
8. člen
(1) Vsaka pogodbenica na zahtevo druge pogodbenice dovoli vstop na svoje ozemlje in tranzit čezenj državljanom tretjih držav ali osebam brez državljanstva, ki jih je pogodbenica prosilka zavrnila, če je takšen tranzit potreben in najgospodarnejši. Tranzit se lahko opravi po cesti, železnici ali z letalom.
(2) Pogodbenica prosilka prevzame polno odgovornost za nadaljevanje potovanja take osebe v namembno državo in bo tako osebo ponovno sprejela, če se ukrep zavrnitve iz kateregakoli razloga ne bi mogel izvesti.
(3) Pogodbenica prosilka zaprošeni pogodbenici potrdi, da ima oseba, za katero je bil odobren tranzit, veljaven dokument za prevoz v namembno državo.
9. člen
Pogodbenica prosilka mora obvestiti zaprošeno pogodbenico, ali zavrnjena oseba potrebuje spremstvo. Spremstvo zagotovi pogodbenica prosilka, ki tudi krije vse potrebne stroške tranzita v namembno državo in vse stroške, ki bi nastali pri vračanju.
10. člen
Zahtevo za tranzit si neposredno izmenjata pristojna organa pogodbenic. Zahteva mora vsebovati vse podatke o istovetnosti in državljanstvu osebe, datum potovanja, čas in kraj prihoda v državo tranzita ter čas in kraj odhoda iz nje v namembno državo, vključno z vsemi podatki o uradnih osebah, če le-te spremljajo tako osebo. Zaprošena pogodbenica mora pogodbenici prosilki na zahtevo za tranzit odgovoriti v oseminštiridesetih urah po prejemu take zahteve.
11. člen
Tranzit se lahko zavrne, če osebi v njeni namembni državi grozi kazenski pregon ali obsodba zaradi njene rase, veroizpovedi, etnične pripadnosti ali članstva v določeni družbeni skupini ali zaradi njenega političnega prepričanja.
V. SPLOŠNE DOLOČBE
12. člen
Pogodbenici po diplomatski poti določita:
– državne organe, odgovorne za obravnavo prošenj za ponoven sprejem ali tranzit;
– mednarodne mejne prehode, ki se lahko uporabijo za ponoven sprejem ali za vstop oseb, ki so v tranzitu.
13. člen
Če je treba za izvajanje tega sporazuma sporočati osebne podatke, naj taka informacija vsebuje le:
a) podatke o osebi, ki bo premeščena, in če je to potrebno, še o njenih družinskih članih, kot so: priimek, ime, vsako prejšnje ime, vzdevek ali psevdonim, alias, datum in kraj rojstva, spol, sedanje in vsa prejšnja državljanstva;
b) potni list, potni dokument, prepustnica ali kakršenkoli drug identifikacijski dokument (številka, datum izdaje, organ, ki ga je izdal, kraj izdaje, čas veljavnosti);

(2) Določbe tega sporazuma ne preprečujejo uporabe določb Ženevske konvencije o statusu beguncev z dne 28. julija 1951, dopolnjene z Newyorškim protokolom o statusu beguncev z dne 31. januarja 1967, in Newyorške konvencije o statusu oseb brez državljanstva z dne 28. septembra 1954.
