Established in 1995 Caritas Serbia is bringing help to those most in need through programmes such as humanitarian aid and relief, home care for the sick and elderly, advocating for rights of people in area of mental care, youth drug prevention, peacebuilding programmes and disaster risk reduction.
Within the project “Integration of Returnees into the Serbian Society“, a counselling centre was established in 2017 in Belgrade, which provides counselling, orientation and in-kind support to returnees, regardless of whether they were asylum seekers, tolerated refugees or persons without valid residence permits in Germany or another EU country prior to their return. In addition, the Caritas Counselling Centre makes referrals to other local or international organisations which provide in-kind aid, employment programmes and vocational training opportunities for returnees.
The Caritas Counselling Center also works directly and closely with various return counselling centres, authorities and institutions in Germany and other EU countries – both, pre- and post-departure – to facilitate and accelerate the return reintegration process. All services provided by the Caritas Counselling Center are free of charge. The project has been sponsored by the International Department of Caritas Germany so far.
