The Service for Foreigners’ Affairs has undertaken operational activities aimed at controlling the movement and stay of migrants in the area of Velika Kladuša and relocating migrants from the "Hipodrom" location to temporary reception centers.

Inspectors of the Service for Foreigners’ Affairs controlled the movement and stay of migrants at the "Hipodrom" location, where they found 201 people originally from Afghanistan and Pakistan in an improvised tent settlement, without the minimum necessary conditions for stay.

Of that number, 171 family members, 27 single men and three unaccompanied minors were found. The Service for Foreigners’ Affairs has relocated families with children to temporary reception centers intended for the accommodation of vulnerable categories Borići and Ušivak, while single men are accommodated in the temporary reception center Miral, the Service for Foreigners’ Affairs said.

On this occasion, three unaccompanied minors were found, and the competent Center for Social Work Velika Kladuša was notified to initiate procedures for determining guardianship and their further accommodation and care in the Center for Children and Youth Doboj Istok.

Migrants will be provided with adequate health care, and procedures will be carried out following the prescribed epidemiological measures.

The implemented activity is a continuation of the continuous operational activities of the Service for Foreigners' Affairs on the relocation of migrants from improvised accommodation capacities to temporary reception centers to better manage migration processes.
