EU-FUNDED migrant camps in Serbia are the sites of severe human rights violations, a study published by human rights activists today says.

A study by migrant solidarity network No Name Kitchen (NNK) — which supports migrants (or “people on the move,” as NNK refers to them) in Serbia and across the Balkans — found the refugee camps and asylum centres there to be overcrowded and often unhygienic.

For example, at Adasevci camp, which is close to the Croatian border, NNK activists were shown photographs taken by those inside the camp of “clogged sinks, filthy toilets with broken facilities and unclean showers.”
