According to the latest Tdh Global Surveillance Report, in December 2016, IOM reported 75,9481 people stranded in the Balkans: in Greece, Macedonia/FYROM, Serbia, Slovenia, Croatia, Hungary and Bulgaria. The total number is in reality higher since it only captures people registered (or staying) in official government facilities. The fact that the number of stranded people is reducing in one country does not mean that there is no movement or arrival anymore. It means that more people are exiting than entering. However since September, the overall number of people stranded in the region increased by 2,227. The increase was also visible in Greece, Serbia and Croatia while Bulgaria, Hungary, Macedonia and Slovenia saw a decrease in the number of people in their country.

The number of people being granted asylum in the region is very low in comparison to the number of asylum applications, which is raising concerns. The low recognition rate should however be balanced by the number of disappearances and/or discontinued applications due to disappearance as well as the backlog of asylum applications still being processed. However these numbers are often not available.
