In 2019, 2,048 persons were apprehended for crossing, or attempting to cross, the border. The Border Police prevented the entry of 6,042 persons. In 2020 this number increased significantly to 6,658 persons apprehended for crossing, or attempting to cross, the border and 12,684 persons were prevented from entering Romania. In 2021, 9,053 persons were apprehended for attempting to cross the border and 11,232 persons were prevented from entering the country. (…) In 2021, UNHCR Serbia stopped publishing disaggregated statistics based on the country from which foreigners were pushed back. UNHCR Serbia reported that 13,409 persons were collectively expelled from Romania to Serbia from 1 January to 31 December 2020, which is the highest number of pushbacks registered since UNHCR Serbia began monitoring pushbacks in the spring of 2016. Higher numbers were registered in the second half of the year. The number has increased in comparison to 2018, when 746-persons were collectively expelled and 2019, when 1,561 persons were collectively expelled.”
