SERBIA - HUMAN TRAFFICKING REPORT
2000 - 2010
Ten years after adopting the UN Convention, the
Republic of Serbia still has no budget allocations for the suppression of human
trafficking, no specialized shelters and programs for children victims.
The referral mechanism for victims of human
trafficking has not been improved ever since it was established and it
currently consists of one employee in the Agency for Coordination of Protection
of Trafficking Victims, which is authorized for the entire territory of Serbia.
There are no developed indicators for identification, nor the procedures for treating the victims. The provision of direct assistance depends exclusively on two non-governmental organizations and ad hoc donations.
There are no developed (re)integration programs for victims of human trafficking at the level of the state. Until today, none of the victims got a compensation for damages suffered during exploitation. In the absence of an institute of the National Rapporteur for Human Trafficking in the Republic of Serbia, this Report will serve as a chronological overview of the past activities, and also an evaluation of their efficiency.
