Jacob (2013) visited the families in the slums around \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBelgrade. He represents the common image of misery: Lots of waste, high \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tunemployment, misery, little or no prospects for the future. Ajrija Demir \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\talready tried twice her luck in Germany. A total of seven years she lived there \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tand had to leave again twice. Since the EU threatened Serbia to reintroduce a \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tvisa requirement, controls at the borders against potential asylum abuser were \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tenforced by Serbia. The border guards are to identify \u201cfalse asylum seekers\u201d &#8211; on \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\twhat criteria this is done, Jacob does not discuss &#8211; and send them back on \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tarbitrary grounds. In December 2012, the Serbian judiciary introduced Article \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t350a into the penal code criminalising \u201chelp for wrongful asylum claim abroad or \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tfor wrongfully obtaining welfare\u201d. Dadruch Rroma are able to consciously leave \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tthem held Serbia. This practice is contrary to the UN Convention on Human \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRights where the right to emigrate from one country &#8211; one&#8217;s own or another \u2013 is \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tpostulated. Jacob laconically states that:<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><em>The \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tcivil rights activist Vukovic would be happy to challenge the exit restrictions \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tin court, but can not find any plaintiff. \u201cRroma do not dare to go against the \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tstate,&#8221; she says.
