Summary/Abstract: The Belgrade Centre for Human Rights has been implementing the project entitled “Providing Legal and Psychological Assistance to Asylum Seekers” since 2012 with the support of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). The project aims to provide asylum seekers with adequate legal and psychological assistance and improve the legal regulations and practice of the state authorities involved in the asylum procedure. Apart from directly extending legal aid to the asylum seekers, the BCHR team in 2012 also focussed its attention on raising awareness of this topic among the general public and the competent authorities, promoting new, adequate solutions to the identified problems, keeping precise statistical data on the number of asylum seekers and collecting information about their countries of origin. The Report “Right to Asylum in the Republic of Serbia 2012“ presents the data and information the BCHR team obtained directly, that is, during its field work, and through its research and perusal of the reports of other government and non-government organisations dealing with asylum in Serbia.
