2015-08-31 09:01:00| Telecompaper Headlines

(Telecompaper) Telenor Serbia has activated a free wireless internet zone in the park in front of Belgrade's main bus station, reports Fonet. In recent weeks, this location has become a makeshift refugee camp for migrants and refugees, waiting for transport to take them north to Serbia's border with Hungary.
