Serbia will not build lasting reception centres for migrants

“Nobody is asking us to build a reception centre for 40,000 or 4,000 people. Serbia is not a reception centre for migrants, and we are not building any permanent capacity for migrant accommodation,” Vulin told reporters in Kanjiza, northern Serbia near the border with Hungary, which is a stop-off for a large number of migrants on their path to Western European countries.

In Kanjiza, we are not working on a reception centre, we are working on a facility which will be able to accommodate people outside downtown, he said and added that the same was done in Presevo, southern Serbia, and other municipalities as well.

Vulin said that 18 people in the Reception unit in the Kanjiza police station area would be employed by August 20 and added that the facility will receive migrants in readmission at the Vasariste checkpoint for provision of legal assistance to migrants.
