Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS) is an international Catholic organization with a mission to accompany, serve and advocate for the rights of refugees and others who are forcibly displaced.

The Society of Jesus (Jesuits) founded JRS in 1980 in response to the plight of the Vietnamese boat people. The then-Superior General of the Jesuits, Fr Pedro Arrupe, was deeply moved by their suffering and felt compelled to respond.

We are a local civil society organisation which provides services directly to the people in need and most vulnerable groups. Most of our activities are directed at providing free legal and psychosocial support to people on the move, asylum seekers and refugees in Serbia, as a final non-EU country on the Balkan refugee route. With the constant presence on the ground and direct communication with people on the move, we are monitoring and reporting on migration developments, state policies and new migration routes on the Balkans. _x000D_

Our team is present on the weekly basis on the Serbian north borders where we provide our services to people on the move who are accommodated in informal settlements (squats) in northern border area between Serbia and EU member states: Croatia, Hungary and Romania. Core of our work is providing legal counselling (minimum of basic legal information about asylum system and their rights and obligation under the law) and psychosocial support, but we are also trying to provide people with the humanitarian aid (food, tents, blankets, hygiene items) which is much needed in these informal settlements. Additionally, the team monitors violent push backs (collective expulsions without due asylum procedure) from the EU Member States, and collects testimonies of violence by the border police officers and Frontex.
