Djurovic: Frontex to also be deployed on Serbian borders that are not EU's outer borders

BELGRADE - Under a new agreement to be signed between the EU and Serbia, Frontex, the European Border and Coast Guard Agency, will also be deployed on Serbia's borders with neighbouring Balkan states that are not the EU's outer borders, Asylum Protection Center Director Rados Djurovic said on Friday.

Speaking to Tanjug, Djurovic said an existing agreement allowed for joint patrols on Serbia's borders with Bulgaria, Hungary and Croatia - all of which are also the EU's outer borders.

"With a new agreement that was given the green light by the Council of the EU yesterday, Frontex is also seeking to be deployed on our borders that are not the EU's outer borders, but borders with our Balkan neighbours, above all, North Macedonia and Montenegro, from where a part of irregular migration - refugees and migrants - is coming to our country," Djurovic said.
