Serbia Awaiting New Wave of Refugees: Belgrade Increasingly Nervous
Serbia's Commissariat for Refugees and Migration registered 9,567 migrants in 2025 and is entering 2026 ready for all potential challenges, Commissariat representatives have told BETA.
The migrants passing through Serbia most often come from Afghanistan, Egypt, Morocco, Turkey, and Syria. There are currently six active reception and asylum centers, in which 235 people are staying.
According to the latest data, 9,567 migrants were registered in the course of 2025, which is 49.38 percent less than in the same period last year. "The state of migration in Serbia is stable and all the competent institutions are continuously cooperating to responsibly monitor and efficiently manage migration flows," the representatives said.
The Commissariat representatives also said that "Serbia remains an important point of transit for refugees and migrants to Europe and a symbol of solidarity in the region" and, in collaboration with partners from the European Union, continued to apply "the good practice of a humane and dignified treatment of all who are in reception and asylum centers."
