President of Caritas Germany dr Peter Neher, together with Claudio Moser, responsible for the department of Latin America and Europe and Tobias Noelke, coordinator of assistance to refugees and migrants in Serbia, Greece and Turkey, visited the Asylum center Krnjaca in Belgrade on the 30th of August 2017. Mr. Matthias Schikorski, second secretary of the German Embassy in Belgrade, responsible for political issues, also joined the visit.

The participants were able to visit the Caritas activities in this centre, through the work of the laundry service, animation and educational workshops for children and adults, distribution of humanitarian aid and psycho-social support. During the visit the Caritas staff and refugees continued their work in renovating the barracks in this centre, mainly through an action of painting, which is ongoing for the past two weeks.

The members of the delegation also had a chance to meet the representatives of the camp management, who expressed their gratitude with the cooperation established with Caritas and with the representatives of the refugees, who shared their life experiences.
