Walking the Balkan Route. The archipelago of refugee camps in Serbia

This chapter is focussed on the ways in which Serbia has responded to th refugee crises in 2015 , and in particular on how its archipelago of refugee camps has played, and continues to play at present, a fundamental role in the country’s provision of humanitarian aid to the flow of migrants entering from its southern borders in their attempt to move to the European Union. Serbia, during the time in which the Balkan informal route was open, has become a key transit country, with its capital Belgrade playing the role of major transportation hub in this new geography of mobility across the Balkan region.
