The funding comes from the Internal Security Fund – Borders and Visa (ISF) and from the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF) which make available €3.99m and €12.43m respectively. Welcoming the decision, Migration, Home Affairs and Citizenship Commissioner Avramopoulos said: "With this decision, we continue to show our support to EU countries confronted with increasing asylum and migratory pressure. We are making €16.43m available to the Croatian authorities to improve border management and deal with the high influx of third country nationals."

The funding will be used to finance measures, taken since 16 September, to increase the presence of police staff at the Croatian-Serbian border to improve management, as well as to improve conditions in temporary accommodation centres. A press release can be found here.
