Balkan route

 In northwestern Bosnia and Herzegovina, more than 200 migrants, living in inhumane conditions in the dilapidated building of the former Krajina Metal factory on the outskirts of Bihac, were transferred to the nearby Lipa reception center. The news comes from the local media which also reported that among the refugees, mostly from Afghanistan and Pakistan, there are many minors. In the new camp, identification, registration and health checks are carried out.



The march of migrants

there are thousands of migrants traveling along the Balkan route, migrants of whom little is said. The flows are constantly increasing and men, women and children, even unaccompanied, stay for weeks or even months in the extreme northwest of Bosnia-Herzegovina, trying in every way to be able to pass through Croatia and continue the journey to the countries of 'Western Europe.



The Lipa camp

Lipa was at the center of the news last winter with hundreds of migrants who in protest had set fire to the structure, remaining in the cold and snow. After the protests of the EU and international humanitarian organizations, the Bosnian authorities had intervened by setting up a tent city to give refugees a first shelter. Subsequently, the center of Lipa was radically renovated, and is now able to accommodate several hundred refugees in decent conditions.
