Biljana Buljevic is originally from Gracac, Croatia, but she now lives as a refugee in a collective center in Kladovo, Serbia. She has no regular income. Because she did not have any formal documentation, she was unable to get a job. Since she did not have any Croatian documents, she could not start the procedure to obtain the Serbian citizenship – necessary to obtain any type of legal work.
Caught in this legal loophole, she sought help through the network of ILA-Microjustice for All. Through this network she was able to receive her birth and citizenship certificates from Croatia, and thus initiate the procedure for her Serbian citizenship. With her documentation in order, she now has the opportunity to apply for a job.
