ESI's Gerald Knaus spoke at a closed expert meeting organised by the Hellenic Foundation for European & Foreign Policy (ELIAMEP) on "The EU, asylum, and borders after Brexit". The Greek newspaper Kathimerini reported on the event: "Κνάους: «Eλλειψη σοβαρότητας στο προσφυγικό»" ("There is a lack of seriousness in how we deal with the refugee issue").

Gerald was also interviewed for a feature by the Belgian public broadcaster VRT on the situation of refugees in Greece: De Redactie, "50.000 vluchtelingen in Griekenland zijn ten einde raad" ("50,000 refugees in Greece are desperate").
