Serbia: Europe's forgotten refugees
A study of the lives of three Europeans who have been living as refugees in Serbia for more than 15 years.
Serbia is the only European country with a protracted refugee population. More than 90,000 refugees from Croatia and from Bosnia and Herzegovina remain there, victims of wars that erupted after the break-up of the former Yugoslavia in 1991.
These long-term refugees live under appalling conditions in dingy apartments and overcrowded collective centres – the nearest thing to refugee camps in modern Europe.
This set of pictures tells the story of three displaced people, the problems they face and their hopes for the future.
Serbia: Europe's forgotten refugees
Serbia: Overstretched Borders
As Hungary builds a fence on its border with Serbia, the situation at the border between the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and Greece is increasingly precarious. Refugees in Serbia on their way to Hungry fear the tighter measures and say they wouldn't have fled home had they not been forced to do it by the war.
Serbia: Dreams Of A Better Life
The story of Miljo Miljic, a refugee from Bosnia and Herzegovina. Miljo Miljic wants to go home, but he can't. He lives a day to day existence, hoping the future will be better for his children.
Serbia: Far From Hope
Thousands of refugee families uprooted by war are living a day-to-day existence in Serbia. They cannot return home, and they have few means of support in Serbia.
