After the migrants were taken to the Smederevo police headquarters, it was determined they were Iraqi citizens who had come into Serbia from Macedonia on foot, outside established border crossings, and that they had fled Iraq because of the armed conflict in that country.

Since they all requested asylum in Serbia, they were instructed to report to the Asylum Centre in Krnjaca within 72 hours, according to the statement.
