SloveniaA man suspected of facilitating the smuggling of at least 625 migrants along the Balkan route was arrested in Belgrade. According to Eurojust, he played a key role in an international criminal network organizing illegal crossings from Serbia to Germany and other Western European countries. The arrest resulted from months of cooperation between German and Serbian law enforcement agencies under the coordination of Eurojust and Europol. Investigators believe the suspect participated in at least 37 smuggling operations between June 2023 and June 2024. The criminal network reportedly transported mostly Syrian nationals through Serbia, then via Hungary or Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, and further into Slovakia, Czechia, Poland, Austria, and Germany. Fees ranged from €2,000 to €10,000 per person. This arrest is part of a broader investigation, with five other suspects already detained in Germany, the Netherlands, and Bosnia and Herzegovina in coordinated actions in 2025.
