Serbia has one pre-reception center for migrants – in the village of Miratovac on the border of Serbia and Macedonia ; with three main reception centers – One in Presevo on the border with Macedonia, the second at the border of Serbia and Hungary, Kanjiza (now closed), and the third at the Croatian border near Sid-Principovac. So far five Centers for Asylum have been opened in: Banja Koviljaca, Bogovadja, Sjenica, Tutin and Krnjaca.

The Reception Centers for migrants are transitory, where one is able to receive temporary accommodation, food and water, medical assistance and other forms of support. It is here that migrants also receive a confirmation of their expressed intention of asylum, with which they are presented and assigned their rightful accommodation at an Asylum Center, to which they must arrive within 72hours. The average amount of time to receive a confirmation on intent of asylum is 24 hours.

In the centers for asylum, refugees are provided with shelter throughout the entire duration of the asylum procedure. In addition to accommodation, basic living necessities – clothes, food, hygiene products – are also provided. All asylum centers are of open concept.
