SARAJEVO, March 27 (FENA) - In the wake of the coronavirus recommendations by the relevant authorities, with the support from the European Union, International Organization for Migration (IOM), Danish Refugee Council (DRC), Federal Red Cross and beneficiaries from the centre who volunteered to help were able to quickly set up heated isolation tents furnished with 1000 beds, mattresses and blankets to accommodate migrants and refugees who had previously been sleeping rough on the Sarajevo streets.
Migrants will first go through a medical check-up pending registration after which they will have access to shelter, food, medical assistance and other humanitarian needs, IOM stated.
In the past weeks, IOM worked closely in coordination with DRC on prevention and mitigation measures on COVID – 19 and the overall management and coordination of the centres is running smoothly.
The European Union, IOM and partners are continuing to work together to provide support to the authorities in Bosnia and Herzegovina in managing the migration situation in the country.
The project “EU Support to Migration and Border Management in Bosnia and Herzegovina” is funded through an Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance (IPA) special measure and is implemented by the IOM in partnership with UNHCR, UNICEF, UNFPA and the Danish Refugee Council (DRC).
