Commissariat: Influx of migrants lower

"The fact is that fewer people are leaving Serbia and that borders are now closed, but, due to measures introduced by Serbia - joint military and police patrols - the Serbian border is much 'tighter' now, so the number of migrants entering Serbia is also significantly lower," Miskovic told reporters in Sid, northwestern Serbia.

There are slightly over 300 people in permanent centers operated by the Commissariat, he said, noting that the permanent capacity was around 2,000.

The 14 temporary reception centers are accommodating slightly over 1,500 people, he added.

Serbia has passed a decree on accommodation for people who are under some form of international protection and work is underway on an integration decree, he said.

However, for now, no migrants are interested in integrating - they all want to go to Western European countries because, as some of them told Tanjug in Sid, Serbia cannot provide them with jobs with sufficient salaries.
