SARAJEVO, March 5 (FENA) - The issues of migration and coronavirus are two items on the agenda for today's extraordinary session of the Council of Ministers of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which began in Sarajevo.
Information on the migrant crisis was prepared by the BiH Ministry of Security and, speaking on the subject, Minister Fahrudin Radončić said that BiH was not ready for a new wave of migrants from the Middle East after Turkey opened its borders and allowed migrants to move in the direction of the EU countries.
“BiH is not ready to receive 10,000 migrants on a daily basis. We have a hard time dealing with the number of several thousand migrants who are already here. The answer must be pan-European and strong, and I expect it to be as such,” Radončić said earlier.
The state ministers will be briefed today on the measures taken in Bosnia and Herzegovina to prevent the emergence and suppression of the spread of coronavirus (COVID - 19) infection.
The meeting comes on the day when we have received a confirmation that the first person in BiH was infected with the virus, of whom about 3,200 persons died worldwide, most of them in China, with more than 80,000 infected to date.
