Situation might get “cataclysmic” and Bosnia won't be capable of handling a wave of thousands of migrants if the crowd starts moving towards Europe, Security Minister Fahrudin Radoncic said Friday, commenting on the information that Turkey could open its border with Syria for migrants as a response to the deadly airstrike in Idlib that killed at least 33 Turkish soldiers.

Despite the deal that Ankara made with Brussels to host some 3.6 million Syrian migrants and step up control to stop the flow of refugees, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said he would “open the gate” following the deadly airstrike with the largest death toll for Turkey in one day since its intervention in Syria started.

“Situation will get cataclysmic indeed if Turkey keeps the word of sending two, three millions of illegal migrants to the European Union countries. The front line, in that case, must be on Greek and Bulgarian borders,” the minister told N1.

According to available information, he said, Greece has already prevented a number of migrants from crossing the border and talks are ongoing.

“I believe that officials in Brussels are trying to reach an agreement with Turkish authorities on not starting something that is out of the Turkey-EU deal,” he added.

Radoncic warned that Bosnia cannot afford to become the front line and expressed hope the wave of migrants will be stopped at borders of Greece, Bulgaria, Italy and Spain.

“Bosnia and Herzegovina absolutely cannot accept the stampede of one or two hundreds of thousands of migrants, which might come here. Even Serbia or Croatia or the whole region wouldn't be able to stop it,” he added.

It is on the European Union to act resolutely, said the minister, and stop the migrants on the borders near Turkey.
