Bosnian police round up migrants near Croatia border

(28 May 2021) Bosnian police on Friday rounded up migrants near the border with neighbouring Croatia and moved them to migrant centres in Bosnia on buses.
The migrants, mostly from Afghanistan and Pakistan, have been sleeping rough by Bosnia's border with Croatia, waiting for a chance to move on towards Western Europe.
There are thousands of migrants in Bosnia, mostly in official camps, but many who have fled war and poverty in their countries in the Middle East Africa or Asia have occupied abandoned houses or erected small tents near the border with Croatia while making attempts to cross over.
Croatia is a European Union nation from where migrants hope to move further towards wealthier EU countries.
Croatian police have been guarding the border heavily, pushing back people trying to cross illegally and facing allegations of violence and abuse against migrants, which they have denied.
