The World Refugee Day was marked with the activities in the area of Bristol Hotel in Belgrade, where for a long time the majority of refugees who pass through Serbia on their way to the EU have been staying.  In the morning hours, refugees, with the help of activists, prepared kites adorned with the messages of hope and paper lanterns and used them to beautify the space in which they were staying. With the sounds of traditional music of Afghanistan, Pakistan and Arab countries, refugees showed their authentic dances, flew kites, played badminton or participated in the futsal tournament in a good atmosphere. The celebration of this day was jointly organised by Info-park, Miksalište and NRC/Praxis, inviting all actors to continue to invest maximum efforts in ensuring safe passage and protection of all refugees in Serbia.
