Key legal question
Whether the administrative expulsion under former LSEE was lawful and proportionate
Extracted holding
Yes. The drug offense was extremely serious, and the authorities correctly weighed the public interest against the appellant's private and family interests.
Extracted reasoning
The criminal conviction for major heroin trafficking satisfied Art. 10(1)(a) LSEE. The seriousness of the fault, the risk of reoffending, the appellant's limited integration, and the still-strong ties to Kosovo justified expulsion under Art. 11(3) LSEE and Art. 16(3) RSEE.
