Serbia’s authorities announced that in the recent months the flow of illegal migrants from Bulgaria and Macedonia on Serbian territory has decreased sharply after that country deployed military and police staff to guard the state borders. A maximum of 10 illegal migrants attempt to cross the Serbian border on a daily basis. The number of migrant smugglers has dwindled as well.
