Turkish Red Crescent Society delegation arrived in Bosnia and Herzegovina to start assisting Bosnian authorities in securing suitable accommodation for migrants in the north-western part of the country.

Turkish delegation arrived at the invitation of the Red Cross of Bosnia’s Federation entity, which asked for a technical-material assistance for the accommodation of migrants. Delegation leader, Goksen Yenigul, discussed the matter with Secretary General of the Federation’s Red Cross, Namik Hodzic.

“We are making huge efforts together with other non-governmental organisations, and under the supervision of the International Organisation for Migration (IOM), to help people who are moving towards the western Europe,” said Hodzic adding that their goal is to make the migrants’ stay here easier and more humane.

Owing to the help of Turkish Red Crescent and the Red Cross organisations from Switzerland and Italy, said Hodzic, they secured a more suitable accommodation for migrants.

According to him, the humanitarian organisations will not be helping only the migrants in the north-west of the country but also those in Usivak and Salakovac centres.

Turkish delegation leader said he was convinced the migrant issue in Bosnia will be solved in the upcoming period.

He also announced that the Red Crescent of Turkey would open its offices in Bosnia and Herzegovina soon.
