For 24 hours on October 19 - 20, from 8 am to 8 am, 6,380 people entered and 6,430 people exited the Opatovac transit centre, according to the Croatian authorities. On that day registrations queues were long for the newly arrived refugees and migrants. However, by the next day, the situation had improved. The flow of new arrivals continues even as the weather gets increasingly cold. The total number of arrivals to Opatovac transit centre, since it opened on September 15, is more than 214,000.
