At the end of 2020, the law was amended to abolish the provision which foresaw financial support for housing for a period of up to 6 months as from the date of entry into force of the decision for granting international protection.[1] In practice, however, some more vulnerable beneficiaries of international protection are still allowed to remain in the reception centres for couple of months due to lack of any integration support (see General Remark on Integration), unless in situations of mass influx or increased new arrivals. At the end of 2024, the number of beneficiaries staying in reception centres was 43.[2]
