Border Violence Monitoring Network (BVMN) is a coalition of organisations working to document illegal pushbacks, collective expulsions and police violence at the EU’s borders since 2016. Our data collection is done by a consortium of independent voluntary field experts who are part of or cooperate with humanitarian support groups united through BVMN.

In this submission to the EUAA Annual Asylum Report, BVMN member organizations elaborate on key issues of border violence and access to asylum in the Balkan region.
