36,000 migrants set to seek asylum in Serbia

Author: vmic
BELGRADE, July 3 (Hina) - This year about 36,000 people have expressed their intention to apply for asylum in Serbia, mostly refugees from Syria, Afghanistan, Somalia and Iraq, Serbian Interior Minister Nebojsa Stefanovic said on Friday.

On their way to Western Europe, migrants use a route from Syria via Turkey, Greece, Macedonia, Serbia and Hungary to reach Austria and Germany, so it is necessary to seek a solution on the European level, Stefanovic told the commercial television channel TV Pink.

Sometimes as many as 800 people enter Serbia on a daily basis and say they will apply for asylum, he said, adding that most migrants see Serbia as a transit country.

Earlier, responding to questions from lawmakers in the National Assembly, Stefanovic said that "all figures indicate that a huge number of people are yet to come" and that a crisis coordination committee, including the ministers of welfare and health, had been set up to tackle the situation. He underlined that there were not enough facilities to accommodate the migrants.
