"Serbian right-wing opposition party Dveri launched an anti-immigration campaign on Tuesday, warning that the country risked becoming “the biggest migrant centre in this part of Europe” despite statistics that show the vast majority of migrants who enter Serbia pass through quickly en route to Western Europe.
Dveri is part of an opposition alliance that has vowed to boycott a parliamentary election on April 26, arguing that the ruling Progressive Party of President Aleksandar Vucic has failed to ensure a level playing field.
Dveri tweeted that the party would start collecting signatures in the western city of Cacak in favour of changing “government policy on immigrants”. A party truck bore a banner declaring, “Are these women and children migrants? Petition against government immigration policy. The signature that guarantees security for your children.”"
