Main challenges (i):Introduction of discrimination as per country of origin

18 November: following practice by Slovenia, Croatia, FYR Macedonia and Greece, Serbia started to deny entry and exit to nationals other than Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq. Around 300 asylum-seekers stranded in Serbia.

Stranded asylum-seekers were accommodated in RAPs and ACs by SCRM. All were advised to seek asylum in Serbia and counseled on the procedure, yet most disperse.

The risk is that the stranded asylum-seekers fall prey to smugglers and take irregular routes.

Opportunity to strengthen protection-sensitive migration management, the quality of registration, the asylum system and assisted voluntary return for persons not in need of international protection.


Main challenges (ii):Crossing the green border from fYR Macedonia in winter

• 1.2 km by foot over muddy, difficult terrain, from Tabanovce in fYR Macedonia to Miratovac RAP (MSF is currently improving the road condition)

• Another 3 km to Miratovac village (IOM, UNHCR/DRC and MSF mini-bus transport for PSN during the day)

• Another 7 km to Preševo Reception Centre

(UNHCR-funded busses during the day)


Main challenges (iii):Reception of arrivals from Bulgaria

Dimitrovgrad:

• Average 200 arrivals daily • UNHCR provided two AFIS work stations but

registration still slow • 4 accommodation containers (30 beds) overcrowded at

times. • Additional accommodation facility (garage) with no

heating. Registration queue under no shelter• No regular cleaning of four chemical toilets• Medical needs as well as for boots, socks, raincoats,

winter clothes, and water

Zaječar, Negotin and Bosilegrad:

• Up to 35/25 arrivals daily• No shelter• Blankets, HEBs, winter clothes, boots and socks needed

Government, UN or NGO humanitarian agencies not yet present 24/7. Many new arrivals report difficult conditions and mistreatment in Bulgaria.


Main challenges (iv)System and process strengthening

• Lack of Disaggregated data

• Registration form and process not suitable for identification of separated children and unaccompanied minors

• Mechanism and process for detection of cases of Human trafficking and sexual exploitation and abuse


Refugees/Migrants Coordination Partnerships in Serbia

Coordination


Refugee/Migration Coordination Partnerships (cont)

• In addition to the national coordination mechanisms (preceding slide), field coordination meetings take place every second day in Presevo (chaired by UNHCR) and Sid (chaired by the SCRM).

• Other national coordination/partnership tools include weekly interagency operational updates, shelter and 3W maps (see next slide), as well as daily external updates.

• The minutes and presentations of the regular Partner Briefings, RPWG and RTG meetings are also widely shared and referred to by all stakeholders.
