Hungary Does It Right: Serbia Should Apply Hungarian Migrant Crisis Experience

According to Serbian Minister of Internal Affairs Nebojsa Stefanovic, since the beginning of the year about 110,000 migrants from the Middle East and Northern Africa went through Serbia on the way to Western European countries, while more than 600,000 migrants went through the country in 2015.

Europe is currently facing a major refugee crisis, with hundreds of thousands of migrants attempting to reach affluent EU member states through various routes, including via Italy, Greece, Turkey and Balkan states. Despite Brussels' attempts to limit the migration influx, many people are still trying to reach the European Union.
