JRS GLOBAL,\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJRS LOCAL<\/strong>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n[vc_column_text css=””]To this day, JRS continues to support displaced people who undertake life-threatening journeys to seek safety. Drawing inspiration from the Gospel values of justice, compassion and love for the excluded, we understand the term \u2018refugee\u2019 to embrace all forcibly displaced people, in line with Catholic social teaching.<\/p>\n
Today, as an organization with over 40 years of experience, we are active in 50 countries worldwide (we are present in 26 European countries) and serve almost 1 million refugees and other forcibly displaced persons. Taking into consideration different needs of people, we act at different levels, from supporting refugees in large refugee camps or towns to taking care of displaced people inside their own countries to advocating for asylum seekers as well as helping people in detention centers.
\nThe international dimension of JRS allows us to be aware of the different asylum systems, legal frameworks and integrations praxis. Exchanging our experiences with other countries helps us find the best and most efficient solutions to help the people we serve. At the same time, those experiences allow us to take part in geopolitical decisions at the EU Parliament and EU Commission level.<\/p>\n
JRS operation in Serbia was established back in 1994 to take care of the needs of refugees and other forcibly displaced persons who left their homes during the wars in the Balkans. The office closed in 2001, but was reopened in 2016 to support and help refugees and migrants coming from countries in the Middle East as well as asylum seekers escaping from countries affected by war and looking for safety and protection.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1482908043725{padding-top: 100px !important;padding-bottom: 100px !important;background-image: url(http:\/\/jrs.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/home31.jpg?id=2785) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_column]
