Members of the Operational HQ also agreed to hold a special thematic session to prepare a new strategy and an updated plan for the effective management of the migrant crisis in Bosnia and Herzegovina, in which our country will assume sovereignty over governance and the humanitarian and security dimensions of the problem.
They concluded that due to weather conditions the number of arrivals of illegal migrants in BiH has been reduced, and currently there are about 5,500 persons in the reception centers, stated the BiH Ministry of Security.
