A migrant rests near the police station in the southern Serbian town of Presevo, near the border with Macedonia, on July 2, 2015. Illegal immigrants cross Serbia on their way to other European countries as it has land access to three members of the 28-nation bloc — Romania, Hungary and Croatia. This year, more than 50,000 migrants tried to cross into Hungary via Serbia between January 1 and May 31 — representing an 880-percent increase compared to the same period in 2014, according to the EU’s Frontex border agency.
