Balkan countries illegally push back migrants - UNHCR
Illegal deportations of migrants seeking to reach western Europe along the so-called Balkans route have been on the rise, the UN refugee agency warned Monday.
Some 1,000 people from the Middle East, Asia and Africa “were expelled in November alone along the Balkans route… more than before,” the UNHCR spokeswoman in Serbia, Mirjana Milenkovska, told AFP. Some 109 people were reportedly deported in November to Macedonia from Serbia’s border migrant transit center at Presevo. (AFP)
