A scene as evidence that these people sorely need any help.
"Today there was no breakfast for me, I went hungry, as did my wife and child. Please help us in any way," says one of them.
"On the journey through Serbia I regularly received bread, water and other supplies. Belgraders are very good, friendly, I have no reason to be afraid of anything," adds another.
Belgraders who proudly show their empty bags in which they had brought, in addition to food and drinks, hygiene items, toys for children, say - this is the way to welcome new Europeans.
"What we do here, anyone can do. We collect, buy and share, it's awfully easy, and the children are happy, as are these people" said fellow citizens.
"Food and clothing are collected at the Mikser (venue), at various points. We organize also via Facebook. Breakfasts should be organized more often, " they added.
There were also those who bought breakfast for refugees in a store owned by a Palestinian from Syria. On the menu was falafel, laffa, hummus.
"This is really on a huge scale and the needs are great. Whoever can should join the action that will last as long as the exodus," said Veran Matic, B92 Fund President.
Most refugees in the park next to the bus station were also living in difficult conditions at home. For those who want to help - it is recommended to arrive in small groups and place their bags where they estimate they should.
Ari - I have to disagree with you. I think once these refugees see Serbia and meet serbian people, they will not want to go anywhere else.

Nice to know that some Serbs(in this case some Belgraders)are said to be hospitable.

Maybe those bringing them all the food and supplies should also clean up all the extra trash the migrants are leaving wherever they stay. Photos show a lot trash strewn about. Aren't there any trash receptacles or recycling cans that the migrants can use?
But also, the British press is reporting that Brit jihadists are using the Serbia route to come back to Britain after fighting in Syria.
The are using land routes if they can't get past airport security.

No doubt, Serbs are very open and hospitable people to foreigners and guests of Serbia's. I am glad that these migrants feel safe and comfortable during their stay. But it is also up to the Serbian gov't to provide them with the means to reach the European Union which is their intended destination. It's not sustainable for them to be camped out in parks, where they want to be is in the EU.
