Getting refugees admitted

[jeff1234]

We have family in Croatia, we've always enjoyed visiting them because it's a prosperous, tranquil, beautiful country. Now Serbia and Bosnia, their neighbors and former bitter enemies, are sending troops to support the Russians invading Ukraine and that's stoking old hostilities in the region. So, they've asked us to get ready to receive their children.
We're anxious to figure out what documents/approvals we're going to need to bring them into Argentina.
Anybody have any insights?

Most likely you need some sort of documentation proving that you are able to support them financially….if they will be here for the long term of course.

Best bet it to check with the consulate/ embassy and explain the situation, and if you don’t get the answers you need in a timely manner, use Twitter to contact them….

If they were not forced to leave their houses, hardly you can call them refugees. You just want to get some kids of your relatives for a vacation.

If their lives are in danger and end up being persecuted for racial or political reasons that can be proved, there might be a case for asylum as a refugee.

Neighboring Bosnia and Serbia have committed troops to fight with Putin. Croatia is sending troops to Ukraine.
One of our cousins is bringing all the children to our family home in Chicago.
They are afraid that Argentina has too many ties to Russia and China. So it looks like my original post about getting them admitted to Argentina is no longer necessary.
These people were in the military during the Yugoslavia wars of the 1990's. One was imprisoned. One cousin took her baby and stood, with many other mothers, in front of the tanks coming to destroy the historic village of Trogir. They are not the kind of people to be unnecessarily afraid.

Bosnia has committed troops (I actually didn’t think any other counties had done so officially), or the sub-national entity of Republika Sprska has? (Whose pro-Putin leader has lately been upping the ante using racial Serb Nationalist rhetoric against the Bosnak and Croat populations there)

I thought Bosnia Herzegovina is still trying to joint NATO.... maybe they are understandably jumpy but getting facts straight before skipping to asylum might help them feel a bit better.

Back to Argentina, anyone know if the government here will proactively accept Ukrainian refugees and displaced persons as other countries around the world have announced?

To date, there has not been an official announcement re: the acceptance of Ukrainian refugees by ARG.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine: Argentina to send Cascos Blancos in a mission to assist refugees fleeing the war. The delegation, sent by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, will coordinate efforts with the consulates of Brazil, Cuba and Mexico to facilitate the departure of Latin American citizens....

Croatia is a member of the European Union, provided they are citizens, they enjoy the freedom of movement within the European Union, and can simply move to another European country, something a lot easier than moving to Argentina.

As to others asking about Argentina helping Ukrainian refugees, Santiago Cafiero can't even help Argentines in Ukraine. I was reading some social media posts of the Argentines studying there and they were hung up on by the embassy, and another gave up and went to the Spanish embassy (for which he also has citizenship) and they helped get him out within a day.

Besides being an ineptocracy, the Ks do have a certain affinity for Russia after all:
