The largest number of countries that Serbia has signed the readmission agreement with did not want to assume responsibility for financial and social reintegration of the citizens who were returned. The ministry pointed out that the Serbian authorities were conducting a campaign aimed at informing the citizens about the rights and restrictions that accompanied the visa liberalization in order to prevent abuse of the visa liberalization and the asylum institution in the EU member states. The authorities have also stepped up control at border crossings. A strategy for reintegration of the returnees was adopted in February 2009 in order to stop the migration. The National Strategy for Improvement of Roma Position in Serbia, which was adopted by the government in April 2009, is also very important bearing in mind that Roma make 70 percent of false asylum seekers.
