Country Report: Freedom of movement
Last updated: 15/05/23
Refugees have equal rights to free movement as permanently residing foreigners in Serbia.[1] Since most of the persons granted asylum in Serbia are accommodated at a private address, 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 (see also Freedom of movement).
