10 a month, many up to ten years and some for life. A large number of persons are placed in hospitals primarily for social reasons and also for the reason that there is no any other form of support for their treatment in the community. Court decisions on involuntary hospitalization of people with mental problems are mainly based on expert analysis of doctors who are employed by the actual hospital recommending the measure. Moreover, there are observed cases where consent to hospitalization is given by persons brought in by the police in agitated state even though the statements given under such circumstances may not be taken as legally relevant. In the residential social institutions certain number of individuals, including children with disabilities have been isolated for a very prolonged period of time. To date, no significant ​​ progress has been made towards de-institutionalisation of these institutions. NPM has sent a recommendation to the competent authorities to carry out all necessary actions with the aim of reducing the current number of occupants in the Reformatory “Veternik” in the next two years, that is, to moderate the number of over 500 occupants of a different age to 100 adults and 50 children. Intensive supervision of the occupants is not implemented as enhanced monitoring providing additional support/attention, but in fact represents isolation. It is of great concern that deprivation of liberty of occupants in residential social care institutions, such as demented persons in gerontology centers and homes for the elderly, is exclusively based on the opinions of doctors and as a consequence of the lack of a proper legal framework that regulates the process of limiting the freedom of movement of these individuals. Public authorities have not established a systematic approach that enables efficient compliance with applicable regulations and international standards in the field of asylum and migration. Disproportion between the number of foreigners who expressed their intention to seek asylum in Serbia in 2013 (5066 persons) and foreigners who have applied for asylum (154 persons) as well as insignificant number of those who actually participated in the process for their asylum claims, represents an indication that the real goal of these entities was not granting asylum in Serbia but a way to realize a possibility of temporary accommodation in the asylum centers thus legalize their temporary stay in Serbia until attaining access across borders to part to the western countries in Europe. There are indications that Serbia has developed an informal system that plays an important role with regard to the position of migrants and their transfer across the border into neighboring countries. Police generally fail to immediately implement a process of establishing the identity of irregular migrants once caught on the territory of Serbia. Such individuals are typically not being brought in to the police station, not being searched for identity documents, nor are their personal data registered in the prescribed records. They are mostly verbally instructed by the police officers to independently go to one of the asylum centers as soon as there is a slight indication of their intention to seek asylum in Serbia. It is incomprehensible that the authorities are allowing thousands of migrants hiding personal documents or with no proof of identity, free movement within the whole territory of Serbia without conducting searches or any constraints or security, nor do they take all necessary actions to establish and make records on their identity.
