On the Montenegrin border with Albania, the construction of a refugee camp began

The authorities of Montenegro are preparing for a possible influx of refugees due to the fact that Hungary has closed its border to the entrance to the Eurozone. The Government of Montenegro has formed an operational group to monitor the issue of refugees passing through the country.

Three kilometers from the border station Božaj in the town of Nikine Uvale, the territory for the future tent camp for possible refugees from the countries of the Middle East began to be cleared. In addition to clearing the place, it is planned to reconstruct abandoned buildings and repair roads that are suitable for this place.

The Minister of Labor and Social Development of Montenegro, Zorica Kovacevic, said that the border crossing points and the acceptance of people in the temporary camp are about 2 thousand people a day. She also stressed that Montenegro provides an opportunity for transit to the countries of Western Europe and is ready to provide refugees with conditions for this.

With regard to a longer term stopover in Montenegro, Kovacevic stressed that at the moment Montenegro is ready to grant asylum to only 155 people. In accordance with the Government's statement, the number of seats will be increased to 500, but more should not be calculated.

A total of 600 civil servants from the Ministry of Labor, police, Red Cross workers and the military of Montenegro will be involved in the refugee program.
