Abstract	The repatriation of refugees has become a widely debated and controversial issue in many member states of the European Union. Based on a survey conducted in 13 European countries, we analyse whether citizens support the repatriation of refugees when the cause for their displacement has become obsolete, and how differences in attitudes toward repatriation of refugees can be explained. A clear majority of Europeans (70 %) supports the repatriation of refugees. This is also the case for those, who believe that their country should accept refugees in the first place. These results mean that existing law – the acceptance of refugees in need and the repatriation when the cause becomes obsolete – is being supported by a majority of Europeans. However, there are considerable differences in approval rates between the countries. The results of multivariate analysis show that cultural factors – both on the micro and macro level – influence BSSE-Arbeitspapier Nr. 38 4 attitudes toward repatriation of refugees, whereas structural factors, recurring to economic interest, don’t contribute substantially to the explanation of attitudes toward repatriation. The political implications of these findings are discussed in the last section of the article.
