(ANSA) - SARAJEVO, 24 NOV - Bosnian Security Minister Selmo
Cikotic said the number of migrants in Bosnia "has gone down by
half thanks to measures adopted by the authorities: there were
12,000 and now there are 6,100". Cikotic said the result is due
to improved border controls as well as the fact that potentially
at-risk people are deported and people who are part of the
migrant trafficking network are put on trial. He said Bosnia has
signed a readmission accord with Pakistan, and is in talks with
countries where the majority of migrants come from: Afghanistan,
Bangladesh, Egypt, and Morocco. (ANSA).
