Special attention in informing the public was directed to the issues of reasons why the borders were closing and the barriers were rising on the borders of certain countries in our environment. Everyday reports mentioned the countries from Turkey via Greece, Italy, Macedonia, Serbia, and Austria, Slovenia and Hungary as well as the island of Lesbos, over which the migrants from the East were leaving their countries because of the war and famine, all in the desire to have a better life in the developed European countries. A number of organizations from the civil, private and public sector participated in accordance with their authorities in the organization and accommodation of refugees who were in transit through the Republic of Croatia.
