Bihac

Several migrants and refugees were injured when they tried to break through a police cordon on Wednesday that has been preventing them from entering EU member Croatia at the Maljevac border checkpoint in northern Bosnia, local media reported.

They are headed towards the border.

The cordon was set up by the Border Police of Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH)

According to information from Sarajevo-based media, the clash between police officers and migrants has produced injuries.

Some 200 migrants and refugees blocked the main road towards Bosnia's border crossing with Croatia on Wednesday morning, resulting in the Maljevac border checkpoint being closed to all traffic, the Bosnian border police said.

Some 1,000 people in the Bosnian town of Bihac, on the border with Croatia, staged their third consecutive evening protest on Monday, demanding that state-level officials find a proper solution to the rise in the number of migrants and refugees arriving in the area.

No Name Kitchen, NNK, an NGO that helps migrants and refugees in Bosnia and Herzegovina, on Wednesday on social networks accused Croatian police of beating a migrant and documented the claim with a photograph of his injured back.

It said its volunteers were dining on Tuesday in the town of Velika Kladusa when the man arrived and asked them to check his injuries.

A group of about 50 local councillors and mayors from northwestern Bosnia said they will protest on Thursday in Sarajevo in front of state institutions over what they call mistaken attempts to resolve the growing migration crisis.

Suhret Fazlic, the mayor of Bihac, is holding a meeting to set up a crisis committee in the town on Wednesday and appealing for assistance from all levels of government in the country to deal with the reported increase in migrants passing through the area.

Given that Zeljava is a huge complex of underground and overground military facilities, it has been quite a challenge to write an article about it. Therefore, in this article, I will try to present the most important information about the Airbase Zeljava.

A 250-kilogram aerial bomb found on Wednesday in the Privilnica suburb of the Bosnian town of Bihac has been destroyed.

The controlled explosion took place on Friday morning, and went as planned, causing no injuries or damage, Sead Vrana of the Civil Protection Administration of Bosnia-Herzegovina's Muslim-Croat entity (FBiH) told reporters.

Some refugees from the Middle East have started to enter Croatia from neighbouring Bosnia and Herzegovina, opening up a potential new route towards Germany and northwest Europe.
