Croatia Police Deny Separating Migrant From Daughter

Croatian police have denied separating a Syrian migrant from his young daughter - after he issued a call for help over the weekend in finding his five-year-old daughter, who he says is now stuck in Croatia while he is back in Bosnia.

He claims the Croatian police separated him from his daughter, which the Croatian police have denied.

The Syrian citizen, via Twitter and other social networks, issued the call for help to find his daughter Allsa on Saturday.
