Report on the Performance of Activities of the National Preventive Mechanism for 2015 blankets, sleeping mats, raincoats, clothes and footwear, but at times there was a shortage of blankets, sleeping mats and warm and dry clothes and footwear. Also, during the first few days there was a shortage of volunteers during night shifts. Infrastructural interventions, such as construction of paths, erecting of tents and alike, were the responsibility of the Croatian Army. Although the refugees stayed there for 24 hours at most, Opatovac Camp was not adequately prepared for cold weather and rainy conditions. On the floors of some tents there were pallets, while in others there were only plastic tarps; there were no beds or heating so during rainy weather refugees often sat and slept in the cold and mud. There was a Family Unification Service and Service for Psychosocial Help available at the Camp, but during our visits we did not actually see psychosocial help being provided. In each sector there were many chemical toilets, and in some sectors there were also CRC tents where one could get food and clothes. In one part of the Camp there were separate men’s and women’s tents with showers. The opening of the Transit Centre in SB resolved most of the problems identified by that time. Organization of the new camp represented great improvement when compared to the Opatovac Camp, due to the new camp’s size, availability of heated facilities, better organization of state bodies and civil society organizations and available organized transport. In each of the sectors there was a special area where there was a container for dispensing of food and clothes, for providing of medical assistance (although there were no employees of the Ministry of Health there at the time of the visits) and for support to families with small children. In each sector there were sanitary containers, toilets and showers marked by labels “Men/Women”, tents for prayer, place for charging mobile phones, wireless internet and waste bins. The ground was covered with gravel so there was no mud during bad weather. In the Transit Centre in SB refugees spent six hours on average, so despite the fact that automatic operation and efficiency of transit was commendatory, the prioritization of transport was nevertheless often at the expense of individual needs of those people, especially vulnerable groups. In both camps, cleaning took place by public works. Chemical toilets and showers were regularly maintained, sectors were thoroughly cleaned after each departure and the quality of their maintenance is evident from the fact that there were no contagious diseases. Registration Pursuant to the Dublin Regulation, all applicants for international protection and irregular migrants who have crossed the border without authorization have to get registered, i.e. their fingerprints have to be taken for the EURODAC database. However, countries that were faced with a large number of arriving refugees diverged from those legal frameworks, so in December the EC issued a formal warning to the Republic of Croatia and other member states due to incorrect implementation of the EURODAC Regulation during registration. 44
