BALKAN ROUTE WEEKLY (week 53)

BALKAN ROUTE WEEKLY (week 53)

We have changed our updates to weekly frequency, because most of the locations are being served by established groups of volunteers and/or NGOs and this makes daily updates less important.

However, this does not mean your help is not needed on the Balkan route. We suggest all volunteers who are willing to help to choose the destination according to your abilities and time you are able to invest, and contact local coordinators to get all details you need about the situation and process your registration where needed.

Updates
- newly updated rules in Slavonski Brod camp (Croatia)
- new volunteers needed in Dimitrovgrad (Serbia)
- reportedly no volunteers needed in Beograd in this week
- volunteers needed in Vienna

Your team: Michal, Dalimil and Martin.
