Key legal question
Whether A had abandoned his actual stay in Switzerland within the meaning of Art. 9(1)(c) ANAG.
Extracted holding
No. A's stay in Switzerland still predominated over his stay in Ex-Yugoslavia, so the actual stay was not abandoned.
Extracted reasoning
For foreign police law, neither civil-law nor tax-law domicile is decisive; only the factual, predominant place of stay matters. A spent 20 months in Switzerland and 11 months in Ex-Yugoslavia between March 1993 and August 1995, with the longest absences lasting a little over two and a half months. Despite continuing his training in Kosovo, his stay was predominantly in Switzerland.
