BIHAĆ, January 28 (FENA) - The International Rescue Committee (IRC) is a new charity working in the Una-Sana Canton, with the focus on helping migrants who do not reside in temporary reception centers.

In addition to support, they are intended to provide adequate information to migrants and to link them with international organizations.

“We would like to give this information to them in the language they speak and to provide them with the psychosocial support they need at that moment. They would focus their attention on the most vulnerable categories, namely unaccompanied children and families in need,” said Regional Executive Director of IRC Europe Stefan Lehmeier at a meeting with the USC Prime Minister Mustafa Ružnić.

Ružnić informed guests about the problems they have been facing for almost three years.

The biggest problem, he said, was the lack of coordination of all participants in the process. He added that they must be aware of all difficulties they encounter in the field, precisely because of the situation that the Una Sana Canton is facing.

He noted that they had communicated with the newly elected security minister and that they could have a meeting next week.

“One session of the coordination body has already been held. We are glad that safety was stressed as the most important,” said Ružnić.

The intention of IRC, a charitable organization funded by private donations from Europe and America, is to begin operations in February. Currently, there are people in the process of registering and forming a team to work with them.
