"Located in eastern Serbia -near the border with Bulgaria. [The Dimitrovgrad Detention Centre] has a capacity of approximately 100 people and is primarily used to detain people on the move apprehended near the Bulgarian border. Similarly to Plandište, this Detention Center is meant to be used for expulsions and readmissions, however information from the field says that most people are released after 180 days. The centre consists of 24 basic dormitories equipped with bunk beds and minimal storage space. Each dormitory has large windows with metal bars. The common area is around 60m2 and also serves as a dining room. The outdoor area is around 50m2, made of concrete walls and fenced off. This area is completely unequipped. Conditions have been frequently described as austere and inadequate by human rights observers." Border Violence Monitoring Network
