SARAJEVO, December 11 (FENA) - About 350 migrants were accommodated at the reception center in Ušivak in Hadžići near Sarajevo last night, who have been staying in the improvised camp in Vučjak near Bihać without basic living conditions, International Organization for Migration (IOM) confirmed for FENA.

Everything ended without incidents, IOM said, and migrants are now accommodated in a warm place and provided with mattresses and blankets, and have also been given warm meals prepared by Pomozi.ba organization.

As it was pointed out, initially there were about 350 people who were transferred to Ušivak in Vučjak, but later 300 people more showed up who also wanted to leave the camp in Vučjak.

"They are accommodated in the Blažuj barracks where one part of the building is equipped. All the migrants were relocated in these two locations, their registration was completed and doctors examined all the migrants, and those who had health problems were provided with care and treatment," IOM told FENA.

Several hundred migrants were staying in inhumane conditions in the improvised camp Vučjak, and many officials warned that the camp must be closed.

In Bosnia and Herzegovina, migrants are currently accommodated in several reception centers in Miral and Bira in the Una-Sana Canton, in Salakovac in the Herzegovina-Neretva Canton, and in Ušivak in the Sarajevo Canton.
