Increasing number of migrants were seen over the past weeks in the streets of the Bosnia's north-western town Bihac, located on border with Croatia.

According to N1's reporter, the migrants occupied the areas in streets, parks, and they can also be seen in front of institutions, schools and local mosques.

The Islamic Pedagogical Faculty of Bihac sent a letter to the Bihac Mayor Suhret Fazlic, saying that for the past two months they have been dealing with the problem of migrants coming from the Middle East countries, who are finding the shelter in this faculty's building while waiting for their further steps.

“Migrants are sleeping outside the mosque and the faculty's building, and what you get to see is alarming. Hence the warning about dramatic of the case, which has to be urgently solved and which must not be left without adequate reaction,” the faculty said.

According to the Bosnia and herzegovina's Border Police, the number of migrants passing through the country has significantly increased during the first three months of 2018. There were 812 of them, ten times more than in the same period of 2018.

Mayor Fazlic stated the last week he expected the state and entity institutions to engage in solving of this problem.

Hundreds of thousands of migrants passed through the so-called Balkan route during 2015, trying to reach one of the western countries. Bosnia never was a part of that route, but after it closed in March 2016, migrants started searching for new paths from Greece via Montenegro, Albania, Serbia, and now Bosnia, to the western world.
