ZAGREB, August 8, 2018 – A 50-year-old Serbian national was caught transporting 38 western Europe-bound Pakistanis, who were crammed into a van, through Croatia and he was intercepted by Lika-Senj County police on Tuesday in the village of Bunić near the border with Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The police filed charges against the van driver for having illegally entered Croatia and for using wrong Slovenian plates on the van.
On Monday, the Slovenian police reported that in the previous four days they had caught 34 irregular migrants near the border crossings of Metlika and Črnomelj.
The Slovenian law enforcement authorities have warned about a rising number of migrants coming via western Bosnia and passing through Croatia on their way to western and north Europe.
