Migrants, Serbia prepares plan to host 6,000

First list includes 15-18 areas

(ANSA) - BELGRADE - The Serbian government is working on a plan to welcome and host in various areas of the country some 6,000 refugees from war zones in the Middle East, Belgrade-daily Danas reported on Tuesday, quoting "diplomatic sources charged with assisting the Serbian government on the migrant crisis". A first list reportedly includes between 15 and 18 areas of Serbia where the migrants could be located.

Serbia is one of the countries most directly affected by the flow of migrants and refugees along the Balkan route. Last year, over 600,000 migrants bound towards western Europe crossed into Serbian territory. Only 600 applied for asylum to Belgrade authorities. (ANSA).
