Report on the Performance of Activities of the National Preventive Mechanism for 2015 helping the countries of first entry, regardless of them being EU members (relocation) or third countries (resettlement). In these procedures, the distribution of refugees in countries depends primarily on the total number of inhabitants and the GDP, but also on the average number of applicants for international protection in the period from 2010-2014, as well as the unemployment rate. At the proposal of the EC, most EU member states adopted the decision on reception of a certain number of refugees via so-called quotas, but the actual implementation of this plan is slow and inefficient. The Republic of Croatia decided to receive 550 persons, and subsequently it agreed to receive 568 more under a new relocation scheme.

International standards for refugee camps When refugees enter the territory of a country, state authorities have to respect their human rights and dignity, and in particular they have to ensure that they are not treated in an inhuman and degrading manner, which means that the refugees have to be provided with minimum conditions for fulfilling the basic necessities of life: adequate accommodation, food, water and sanitary conditions, as well as healthcare.
