Refugees have equal rights to free movement as foreigners permanently residing in Serbia.[1] Since most of the persons granted asylum in Serbia live in private accommodations, they were in identical situation as other citizens of Serbia during the COVID-19 lockdown and were not detained in asylum or reception centres. Those people who were still residing in reception facilities shared the fate of all other refugees, asylum seekers and migrants who were detained from 15 March to 7 May 2020.
