Question juridique clé
Whether the applicant retained a right to renewal of the residence permit under Art. 43 AuG despite his criminal conviction.
Solution extraite
No. The right to renewal lapsed because he had been sentenced to a long-term custodial sentence within the meaning of the practice and the withdrawal measure was proportionate.
Motifs extraits
A custodial sentence exceeding one year counts as long-term even if suspended. The court upheld the lower court's balancing of interests: serious drug offence, limited integration, continuing ties to Kosovo, and the children's adaptable age justified removal.
