There is a large number of migrants who spend their days without electricity, water and food, hoping they will succeed in crossing the western border and continue their trip towards western Europe.

Since the beginning of 2018, the number of migrants passing through Bosnia has drastically increased. The country became a significant transit point for the thousands of migrants after numerous surrounding countries closed their borders.

The migrants aim to reach EU countries through Bosnia and Croatia. Croatian border police, however, often turns them away from the border and back into Bosnia.

The northwestern Una-Sana Canton (USK), and near Croatia’s border, is affected the most by the situation.
