The Naujininkai building has recently housed the homeless who have come here. However, after the reconstruction of the hostel on A. Kojelavičiaus street was completed, they returned there, and this building became the place in Vilnius where migrants who crossed the Lithuanian border illegally would live.
According to the Ministry of the Interior (MIA), this is the only place in the capital that is currently planned and where migrants crossing the border from Belarus illegally will settle.
Now this is called the Novice Refugee Reception Center.
Children and babies
It is promised that both here and at the Refugee Reception Center in Rukla, conditions will be created for children to study and participate in various activities.
The Minister of Social Security and Labor, Monika Navickienė, stated that the first migrants had already been transferred to the old Vilnius shelter, some 80 people had come here. Of these, 32 children and 9 babies.
“The conditions are well adapted, there are well-equipped bathrooms, a kitchen and the migrants will prepare their own food according to their needs, as is the case with Rukla. The installation of a medical point, an office where doctors will consult twice a week, is also being completed.

Soon, from October 4, children will be able to attend school and learn the Lithuanian language. When asked why immigrants would be taught the Lithuanian language, if the goal was to send them back to their home countries, the Minister said the Ministry of Education should comment on this. However, people are currently in Lithuania.
According to the minister, talks are taking place with non-governmental organizations about the employment of adults.
The store will be open
According to the minister, the migrants will prepare their own food, the food bank has taken over the food stocks so far, but soon, on October 4, a store will open where people will be able to buy their own products.
Most Medininkai modular homes are groups with children, especially babies, because it is not so convenient to live in modular homes with babies.
Migrants will receive 2.5 euros per day for meals, the amount will reach 77 euros per month.
“The third floor is occupied, the others are managed, we are going to bring about 200 more people here. Most of Medininkai modular homes are in terms of vulnerability, that is, groups with children, especially with babies, because it is not so comfortable to live in modular homes with babies. We strive for the people who raise the youngest children to live in the building, ”said M. Navickienė.
A medical office has been established at the Refugee Reception Center in Naujininkai. It has been agreed with the Antakalnis Polyclinic that a doctor and a nurse will work in the clinic two days a week. Doctors will bring the medicine package and the staff of the Refugee Reception Center will purchase the necessary medicines as needed.
Ensures that protection is adequate

“The territory of the Refugee Reception Center will be guarded 24 hours a day by police officers. Police patrols will also intensify in the surrounding streets. The purchase of security services is currently being announced. When it happens, the security service will take over security of the facility since approximately mid-October.
The lighting of the area will be installed on the territory of the migrant camp. The territory and its accesses will be monitored by video surveillance cameras ”, says SADM about the protection of the camp.
