IAN’s clients in Serbia are asylum
seekers and undocumented migrants
who have arrived in recent years, largely
due to conflict in the Middle East. Only
a minority, 8 percent, have claimed
asylum in Serbia, while 92 percent are
in transit, seeking to join family or apply
for protection in the European Union.
Most of them come from Syria, Iraq
and Afghanistan and have experienced
torture and ill-treatment in their home
countries and in some instances at the
hands of border guards too.
