Vienna: IOM, 2026

English

This report draws on Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) Flow Monitoring activities in Europe and the Western Balkans and on Flow Monitoring Surveys (FMS) collected in 2025 in Greece, Italy, Spain (3,201), and on surveys at flow monitoring points deployed in Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Serbia and Kosovo (9,215). Main findings are complemented with information and data from IOM field staff and enumerators, as well as from dedicated focus group discussions with migrants and practitioners in those countries. The report also compares the main findings for 2025 with those of previous rounds of FMS in the region and analyses against the more comprehensive picture of mixed migration movements in the region in the past ten years.
