The present research was conducted as part of the Project “Monitoring the situation of children returned from EU Member States” – co-funded by the European Union’s Return Fund – aiming to document, analyze and improve the situation of children that have been returned from European Union (‘EU’) Member States to six South-East European (‘SEE’) countries, by ensuring that their best interests are upheld following the enforcement of a return decision. The research builds on the "Comparative Study on Practices in the Field of Return of Minors" carried out by the European Council on Refugees and Exiles (‘ECRE’) and Save the Children (EU Office). Overall, research activities started in April 2013 and ended in August 2014.
