This dashboard contains data and information collected by the UNHCR in Western Balkans based on several databases. Data sources include

Information Management and Public Information focal points at UNHCR country offices in the region. Relevant information was also

collected through Border Protection Monitoring, as well as from Asylum monthly statistics, as provided by official sources in each country.

The information presented in the dashboard can change, in line with the latest updates made available by the authorities in charge, as the

official figures are released at the end of each month.

Mixed Migrations (MM) are considered as "new arrivals" or new entries of populations. However, it is not possible to add them up in order to

establish how many individuals are transiting or arriving in the region. Partners gathering information for the Border Protection Monitoring

are receiving information on the people on the move through direct contact/communication. UNHCR aims to collect, at regional level,

accurate information, mainly from agreed and official sources. Asylum procedures in the region differ. In some countries, before formally

lodging asylum claims, asylum-seekers need to express their intention to do so. In others, people in search of international protection directly

register their applications. In order to compare them, if a country is not applying an intention procedure before, the applications are

considered as intentions as well.

* Security Council Resolution 1244 (1999) ** for North Macedonia, data on arrivals are not official government data, they are UNHCR estimation

based on different sources and do not imply official endorsement by UNHCR.
