BOSNIA-CROATIA-MIGRANTS-BORDER

Migrants protest in the vicinity of Maljevac border crossing near Northern-Bosnian town of Velika Kladusa, on October 24, 2018. - Illegal migrants gathered near the border crossing in an attempt to cross into neighboring Croatia. Officers of Bosnian border police and Croatian police prevented the migrans from crossing the border line between the two countries. Numbers of migrants who are passing through Bosnia during the past few months on their way towards the European Union, is on a constant raise. Migrants stop in Sarajevo where they rest before continuing their journey towards North-Western Bosnia and Croatian border. Until recently, Bosnia and its mountainous terrain were avoided by migrants travelling from northern Africa, Middle East or Asia, who, despite the closure of EU borders in March 2016, continued to pass through the Balkans. But, since late 2017 Bosnia is facing the passage of thousands of migrants, who are now stranded. (Photo by ELVIS BARUKCIC / AFP) (Photo credit should read ELVIS BARUKCIC/AFP via Getty Images)
