Their stay costs the state 15,000 euros a day, and team Telegraf tried to investigate where and how these asylum seekers live in the capital.
Surely you've had a chance to go to the railway station or Savamala these days and have noticed many asylum seekers...
It seems they've been doing their best ... Some spend their days in the park, waiting for a good opportunity to go to EU countries, while others live as tourists, rent out hostels and have lunch in restaurants.
We found a Pakistani restaurant in Karadjordjeva Street in Belgrade, where we heard that the asylum seekers gather.
DRAMATIC: One million refugees are rushing toward Serbia! A Humanitarian catastrophe is looming
We were expecting a much more modest interior ... The restaurant from the outside looked like a ruin, and besides a large inscription at the entrance, nothing hinted that this place could be their hideout.
Everything was "gala", so to speak. A great restaurant, a modern interior, and affordable prices.
We learn that they make so-called "Hilal food" inside, specialized for customers who come here.
They make amazing chicken with rice, pork is not eaten at all, much like strudels or greasy foods.
A meal in this restaurant costs about 300 dinars, carbonated drinks between 100-150 dinars, although they rarely drink them. They drink mostly coffee and water.
The restaurant specializes in Eastern cuisine, because the husband of the landlady, Ana, lives in Pakistan ... They have two chefs from Tunisia to maintain the image of the restaurant and they are responsible for the best service to guests.
We wanted to take a peak in the kitchen to see how the food is prepared, but the workers were not really interested, so we could only listen to the rattle of plates and a mix of Thai and Chinese cuisine.
With that, you could hear Eastern music ... The boss, Ana helped us feel comfortable. She offered us coffee, lit a cigarette and began to talk about how she got the idea to open a Pakistani restaurant and what she thinks of asylum seekers as the most frequent guests.
- I do not mind who sits here, whether they are asylum seekers or our native people, I do not care ... It is important that they eat, that the restaurant has work, and of course that they pay! Nothing else interests me - Ana snapped, adding that she has never had a problem with them, much like the nearby bakeries that praise them.
The Ramadan fast is still going on, and when we entered the restaurant, few people ordered lunch. During the day, they abstain from food, to feast in the evening with a prayer.
According to the people that serve them, they are very honest, they all pay, sometimes even give a tip!
They are cultured and do not pick on anyone, but they're a little skeptical of strangers. Their eyes are full of doubt and fear about things that they have gone through and therefore did not feel comfortable when we entered with a camera.
They immediately complained to the landlady...
The nearby bakeries are full of asylum seekers, which are now starting to prepare food for them.
They are served mostly by young girls, who have a lot of work, but they do not complain.
A portion of food costs them about 500 dinars, and the girls say they have had no problems with them. They even got a few tips!
When we left the restaurant, we were followed out by the eyes of the asylum seekers in the restaurant, as well as in front.
And in our ears, the sound of eastern music is still ringing...
