SARAJEVO, May 14 (FENA) - Today's meeting in the Service for Foreigners’ Affairs was dedicated to the current situation of the increased presence of migrants in the Sarajevo Canton, the current security situation on that issue, as well as the situation in temporary reception centers Ušivak and Blažuj and prevention measures in the fight against Covid-19.
It was stated that there is a large number of migrants in the surrounding countries, and according to the estimates, there are about 100.000 migrants in Greece and 7.000 to 8.000 in Serbia.
By easing the prevention measures of COVID 19 and enabling their free movement, it is expected that a significant number of these migrants will move through Bosnia and Herzegovina to EU countries.
The excellent cooperation between the Service for Foreigners' Affairs, the Ministry of the Interior and the International Organization for Migration in ensuring the normal functioning of temporary reception centers in the Sarajevo Canton was emphasized, the Service for Foreigners’ Affairs stated.
They stressed that 2.300 migrants are currently accommodated in the temporary reception centers Ušivak and Blažuj, which represents a serious security challenge in the area of the Sarajevo Canton.
The interlocutors agreed that they would continue to hold regular meetings in order to resolve all open issues and to maintain a favorable situation in the context of the increased presence of migrants in the Sarajevo Canton.
