"Borders do not stop process, refugees passing through"

"Borders do not stop the process. Some of them enter Bulgaria from Turkey, then from Bulgaria they go to Serbia and there are those who come through Macedonia," Djurovic said during a public debate on refugees, the Beta agency has reported.

According to available information, refugees were successfully crossing Serbia's northern border into Hungary and then continuing from there, he said, adding that "if their entrance was made difficult, they could stay in Serbia for some time."

"In Belgrade, with the arrival of fair weather, we have 100 to 200 people in parks, and the pressure could mount," Djurovic said, adding that it was very important for these people not to wind up in an illegal gray area.

According to him, the situation in the future will depend on the functioning of the EU-Turkey agreement.

"By closing the Balkan route, European countries stopped the flow of these people who are mostly refugees and from the human rights aspect, that was an extremely controversial move that was not in line with either European or domestic rules," Djurovic noted.

The public debate, ""EU's Migration Policy and the Effect on Serbia," was organized by the Forum for International Relations of the European Movement in Serbia, the Network of the European Movement in Serbia and the Friedrich Ebert Foundation.
