(Reuters) Dozens of migrants from the Middle East and Africa have set up tents outside Subotica, a town in northern Serbia, with a view to sneaking over the nearby border with Hungary and on to Western Europe.
According to the Asylum Protection Centre, there are around 1,000 migrants in the northern province of Vojvodina waiting to try to cross into neighbouring countries including Romania and Hungary en route to wealthier parts of the continent.
A further 1,000 or so were in Belgrade, many of them living in the open air in parks or on river banks before they also moved north towards the border.
“We have 150 migrants entering the country from the south every day,” said Rados Djurovic, executive director of the centre.
