SUBOTICA, Serbia—Dozens of migrants from the Middle East and Africa have set up tents outside Subotica, a town in northern Serbia, with a view to sneaking over the nearby border with Hungary and on to Western Europe.

According to the Asylum Protection Center, there are around 1,000 migrants in the northern province of Vojvodina waiting to try to cross into neighboring countries including Romania and Hungary en route to wealthier parts of the continent.
