Dolce Welle reported the information with this that 200 to 300 migrants arrive from Belgrade every day, mostly from Afghanistan, Syria, Pakistan and African countries.

Humanitarian organizations also comment that the number of people keeps increasing.

Most activists and helpers, who were active in the past year, are again in the park every day at the bus station, where migrants are gathering to get information about their journey to Hungary, or to get in touch with smugglers.

Little park at incoming platform is already known as Syrian park, while the one across the street is colloquially named Afghanistan park, writes Dolce Welle.

Police and security with the marks of Commissioners for Refugees are paroling here, overseeing the situation and try to prevent lying on the green surfaces and setting up the tents.

According to the data from UNHCR, on the road through Serbia is more that 1.400 migrants which are going from Belgrade to north, towards Hungary, with a bus or illegal transport.

After stopping in Subotica, migrants are going to the periphery of Horgos, when they make a small tent settlement on no mans land between two states.

More than 300 people resides in improvised shelters, beneath the trees and spread blankets. Next to it is Hungarian barbed dangerous fence. People are patiently waiting for a chance to go to the Europe teritory.

- We arrived here 20 days ago, we are still waiting to cross over to Hungary. There are no specific procedures, Hungarian government are letting in groups of 15 people a day, mostly families with children. That is a small number, considering that hundreds of people are camping here.

Camp is growing on daily basis. Among the migrants its already named "little Idomeni", because harsh conditions remind of that Greek village where migrants were at some time. 

There are no toilets or showers at Horgos, and food, drinks and clean clothes are brought by volunteers of various charity organizations.

- The situation is not worthy of people, but that doesn't bother me. I just want to continue my journey to Switzerland. If we don't move to Hungary in the next few days, ill search for smugglers again - said Mahmud.

As he said, his family of many members, spent around 35.000 on smugglers so far and his only idea is to keep moving forward.
