Serbia
Today, the Republic of Serbia remains a country of transit. Currently there are around 5,000 refugees and migrants in the territory of Serbia – some live in centres across the country while others are sleeping rough.
We provide medical and psychological assistance to asylum seekers, refugees and migrants in the northern border areas of Serbia. As people attempt to cross the borders, many sustain injuries from beatings by batons and sticks, as well as irritations from tear gas and pepper spray. We assist people stranded in appalling conditions and carry out medical consultations for violence-related trauma.
