<p>The British Government has not carried out such assessments. However, we continue
to assess more broadly current levels of migration, asylum and migration capabilities,
conditions for migrants themselves and the impact on communities. Where it is appropriate
to provide support, the UK has, for example, in Bosnia-Herzegovina, made available
£500,000 to support a project delivered through the International Organisation for
Migration (IOM) to contribute to local governments' efforts to enhance community stabilization
and social cohesion in targeted locations in Una Sana Canton, following the recent
increase in migrant arrivals. In Serbia, we have spent over £500,000 to improve asylum
management systems by providing technical assistance and building capacity, again
delivered through the IOM. Consistent with the UK's 'whole of route' approach to tackling
irregular migration, we hold regular discussions, in both multilateral and bilateral
settings, with a range of international partners to promote and uphold human rights,
humanitarian conditions and other standards in the design and delivery of policies
affecting migrants, refugees and asylum seekers, and would raise any concerns in this
context.</p>
