Bosnia increases control on eastern border
Bosnia’s law enforcement agencies have increased control on the eastern state border to prevent illegal migrations from neighbouring countries, Bosnian Border Police said on Friday.
The area around the eastern Bosnian towns of Zvornik, Bratunac, Srebrenica, Visegrad, Rudo, Cajnice and Foca will also be monitored by officers of the State Investigation and Protection Agency (SIPA) and the Directorate for Coordination of Police Bodies.
“Deployment of the police officers >> Pročitaj celu vest na sajtu N1 televizija << to the eastern part of Bosnia’s border is the first respond of the bodies in charge to the demands of the Border Police sent several times due to the growing migration pressure, lack of 526 police officers and the fact that six-month extraordinary and increased measures on borders almost exhausted the human and material-technical resources of this agency,” the Border Police statement said.
The agency took measures against more than 4,000 individuals coming from countries of the high migration risk since the beginning of the year, preventing them from illegally entering Bosnia and returning them to the territories of Serbia and Montenegro.
Chairman of Bosnia’s Council of Ministers Denis Zvizdic said on Thursday he would send diplomatic notes to Serbia and Montenegro, explaining the fact that Bosnian authorities knew that migrants were being sent to Bosnia “institutionally and by criminal groups.”
