Serbia

Number of people served:  1,760 

Like other Balkan countries, Serbia experienced an influx of refugees in 2015, but has since seen a decline because of closing borders. Just over 6,000 people applied for Asylum in Serbia in 2017.

Our Work in Serbia

JRS Serbia was established in 1994 to meet the needs of refugees and other forcibly displaced people who left their homes during the wars in Balkan region. JRS Serbia has since shifted to respond to refugees and asylum seekers fleeing from other regions of the world to Europe.

In 2017, JRS Serbia opened the Pedro Arrupe Integration House for vulnerable groups of refugees (unaccompanied and separated children up to age of 15) in Belgrade. The Integration house provides shelter, food, clothes, and learning support.

Health Care Health services are often needed to help refugees through their displacement and effectively reduce health risks.
Health Care
Education Education is a life-saving intervention that helps displaced children and families to see beyond their displacement.
Education
Reconciliation In a spirit of welcome and hospitality, reconciliation creates a communal expression of social cohesion and acceptance of refugees within society.
