These people spent the night outside. They are under police supervision, very close to Izacic's border checkpoint”, near the northwestern town of Bihac, police spokeswoman Snezana Galic said this Tuesday.
The immigrants stayed on a side of the road all night, even though temperatures were dropping to 5 degrees Celsius, but the police prevented them from heading for a nearby hotel where they could spend the night.
But this number of immigrants refused to return to hotels where they could escape these cold temperatures.
Despite Bosnia and Herzegovina, it has repeatedly attempted to avoid immigrants trying to cross through it to infiltrate Western European states, but unfortunately it has seen an apparent increase in their numbers earlier this year.
Police estimate that the EU's most frequent area, where thousands of immigrants can be hiding, is the one called Bihaqi, on the border with Croatia.
However, on the part of Bosnian authorities, a formal centre for hosting immigrants in the Bihac area has not yet been established.
