Asylum system of Serbia one of most organised in Europe

Belgrade, 5 February 2021

Minister of the Interior Aleksandar Vulin visited, together with Director of Police Vladimir Rebic and Commissioner for Refugees and Migration Vladimir Cucic the police officers who carried out an operation to find irregular migrants.

On that occasion, Vulin emphasised that the asylum system of Serbia is one of the most organised in Europe, saying that the Ministry of the Interior cares about the safety of every person in the territory of our country and takes care of everything that could endanger the everyday life of all our citizens.

Migrants must and should be in camps. We are humane and organised, but the law must be respected and our everyday life must never, in any way, be endangered, he pointed out.

The Minister warned that no one should take justice into their own hands and that, not respecting the law, they should try to remove, punish or direct migrants, because there are police and other institutions that are in charge of taking care of that.

Our state works and will do its job. Serbia has shown that it is more organised, more humane, safer than many European Union countries when it comes to the migrant crisis, said Vulin.

Ninety-seven irregular migrants from Belgrade were transferred to the reception centre in Presevo, the Ministry of the Interior said in a statement, adding that this police action would be continued.
