The Border Violence Monitoring Network (BVMN) is a coalition of over 14 organizations founded in 2016 whose stated goal is "documenting illegal pushbacks & police violence by EU [European Union] member state authorities in the Western Balkans and Greece ".[1][2][3] The organization was founded in 2016 and is regarded as an authoritative source on pushbacks and refugee protection.
In 2018, BVMN recorded video footage of pushbacks along the Croatian–Bosnian border, which was widely circulated online.[4] In 2019, it reported 3,251 pushbacks either from Croatia to Bosnia and Herzegovina or from Greece to Turkey.[5] To date, BVMN has documented over 1281 pushbacks from 16 countries.[6]
