Key findings
63% of respondents reported leaving their country of origin due to insecurity, threats to their life, and discrimination.
15% of respondents had previously been prevented from entering their current host country – with 4% subjected to some form of violence or mistreatment in the process.
66% of respondents have a destination country in mind, primarily due to family ties and/ or employment opportunities.
44% of respondents are willing to permanently stay in their current host country – mainly if they are granted legal status, the right to work, and/or the right to reunite with their families.
48% of respondents have applied for asylum in their host country, mostly in Bulgaria, Croatia, and Romania, while an additional 20% have expressed an intention to apply for asylum. The remaining 32% have not applied for asylum, mostly because they plan to move elsewhere.
Lengthy asylum procedures, limited access to services and challenges with integration in the host countries are among the key drivers behind onward movements.
