Bosnia and Herzegovina's Border Police prevented the smuggling of eight people allegedly from Pakistan on Tuesday night, who were attempting to enter the country in the Zvornik region.

“The smuggling was prevented during the surveillance of the state border and with the use of specialist equipment, during which members of the BiH Border Police spotted a boat from the Republic of Serbia, sailing on the Drina River towards the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina,” the Border Ploce said.

The illegal migrants did not have any identification documents on them and in the conversation with the officers, they stated that they came from Pakistan.

The country’s Border Police will continue to work on this case, they said.
