First-time asylum applications in Croatia, by month

People lodging their first asylum application in the country, by month.
How to read it

Returns in Croatia: orders issued and returns carried out
What it shows
Return orders issued by the authorities and returns actually carried out, by year.
How to read it
The two lines almost never meet. The gap between them is the share of orders that does not turn into a return, and neither figure alone shows it.
