2015-08-21 Balkanin maiden turvapaikanhakijatilanne (yhdistetty)

[Alaric]

Kroatian viranomaiset ovat pystyttäneet metalliaitaa Bosnian vastaiselle rajalle Maljevacin rajanylityspaikan läheisyyteen laittomien läpsyttäjien pysäyttämiseksi. Gejkovacin and Pasin Potokin rajanylityspaikoilla on jo valmisteltu aidan perustuksia.

Toisella puolella rajaa Bosnian luoteisosassa on tuhansia laittomia yrittämässä päästä Kroatiaan ja siitä eteenpäin muualle EU-alueelle.

Croatia installing fence on borders with Bosnia

Croatia's authorities set up barriers at the Maljevac border crossing with Bosnia and Herzegovina and prepared foundations to do the same at two other border crossings, explaining that the move was in line with the Schengen regulations, Croatian Ministry of Internal Affairs said on Monday.

The removable barriers were installed by the Finance Ministry, which is in charge of the construction and maintenance of border crossings, at the request of the Internal Affairs Ministry.

The border crossings where the fence was installed and prepared to be set up - Maljevac, Gejkovac and Pasin Potok - are linking Croatia with Bosnia's northwestern region, which is currently struggling with the migrant crisis with thousands of migrants roaming the area and hoping they would eventually reach their final destinations in the European Union.

As Croatia keeps its borders closed for illegal migrants, they are stuck in this part of Bosnia, accommodated in three temporary shelters.

Marokkolaisten, algerialaisten ja pakistanilaisten välillä puhkesi kahakka Bosniassa

Bosnian viranomaiset ovat pidättäneet 20 henkilöä muslimien Eid al-Fitr -juhlan aikana tapahtuneesta välikohtauksesta.

Eid al-Fitr on islamilainen juhla, jota vietetään ramadanin, muslimien paastokuukauden päättymisen kunniaksi. Bosniassa Velika Kladusassa kolmipäiväinen juhla ei kuitenkaan sujunut suunnitellusti, kertoo Morocco World News.

Youtube-palvelussa julkaistussa videossa näkyy, kuinka pakistanilaiset siirtolaiset hyökkäävät 5. kesäkuuta marokkolaisten ja algerialaisten siirtolaisten kimppuun rautaputkilla varustautuneina.

Taistelu sai alkunsa, kun marokkolaiset ja algerialaiset siirtolaiset päättivät juhlia ramadanin päättymistä juopottelemalla läheisessä puistossa.

Samaan aikaan moskeijassa rukoilemassa olleet pakistanilaiset huomasivat, mitä puistossa on tekeillä, ja alkoivat karjumaan juopotteleville nimitellen näitä "huonoiksi muslimeiksi."

Tästä syttyi kahakka, joka eskaloitui nopeasti leviten puistosta läheiselle parkkipaikalle. Kahakassa käytettiin aseina muun muassa rautaputkia ja heiteltiin pulloja.

Bosnian viranomaiset ovat pidättäneet 20 henkilöä ja poliisitutkinta on käynnistynyt.

Aid groups: Migrant humanitarian crisis looming in Bosnia

Aid groups are warning of a developing humanitarian crisis in Bosnia as more migrants make their way to one of Europe's poorest and most volatile countries, where the needs of the existing population already strain a thin social safety net.

The Bosnian Red Cross has sounded the alarm over a rising number of desperate migrants in the northwestern cities of Bihac, Velika Kladusa and Cazin.

"We are currently struggling to provide migrants with food and sanitary products," said Selam Midzic, head of the Red Cross organization in Bihac.

Thousands of migrants are sleeping rough on the streets and the parks after trying to cross the border into Croatia but are being pushed back into Bosnia, aid groups say.

Tensions are mounting, among the migrants themselves who are engaging in fights with each other, and with local residents in Bosnia.

"They (migrants) run around freely. We cannot sleep peacefully anymore, we are constantly on alert," said Husein Karajic, a resident of Velika Kladusa.

(...)

At the same time, the migration pressure continues to grow. In the first five months of this year, the county registered over 9,000 new migrant arrivals, nearly 12 times more than for all of 2017.

Meanwhile, Bosnian Serb hard-line leader Milorad Dodik, who currently heads Bosnia's multi-ethnic joint presidency, has blocked efforts to deploy the army to stem the influx of migrants who mostly enter the country across the Drina river, on its eastern border with Serbia.

Dodik, who has repeatedly pressed for Serbs to separate from multi-ethnic Bosnia and unite with Serbia proper, has been using the crisis to promote his Serbian-first attitude, including by refusing to accommodate any migrants in the country's highly autonomous Serb-run half.

"As a Serb member of (Bosnia's) presidency, I cannot accept deploying the army along our borders with Serbia and Montenegro," he said on Tuesday.

Dodik added that he would also block the deployment of the EU's border protection agency teams along Bosnia's border with Croatia.

"It would only solidify the border and result in more migrants remaining in Bosnia," he said.

North Macedonia police detain 50 migrants within days

Police in North Macedonia say they apprehended 50 Europe-bound migrants who allegedly entered the country from Greece.

A police statement said officers chasing a jeep Saturday on the main north-south highway in central North Macedonia found 10 people from Pakistan inside when the driver abandoned the vehicle. Police are still searching for the driver.

The statement says a routine inspection of a truck on Thursday led to the discovery of another 40 migrants, including 12 children, from Pakistan, Syria and Egypt.

Police say they were taken to a shelter and will be deported to Greece. The truck driver was arrested.

Toi serbi on kyllä IDIOOTTI.

Pitää rajat auki että toiseen suuntaan että porukka pääsee maahan ekaksi.
Sitten pidä rajat auki toiseen suuntaan että porukka pääsee maasta pois jonka jälkeen kaikki läpi päässeet soittavat kavereilleen ja sukulaisilleen tai facebookkaavat että Bosnian läpi pääsee jolloin tulee lisää porukkaa sen toisen rajan yli koska ovat kuulleet että läpi pääsee.

Milorad Dodik, you are an imbecile and idiot since by keeping borders open to Serbia and Montenegro you allow THOUSANDS more migrants to come to Bosnia and by keeping borders open to Croatia you make sure that everyone that gets through messages their friends and relatives in Greece, Serbia and Montenegro and tells them to come to Bosnia since one can get through it to Croatia.

You bloody idiot Milorad Dodik are CAUSING thousands of migrants to continue to come to Bosnia!

With your kind of IDIOTIC and IRRESPONSIBLE leadership Bosnia-Herzegovina and Serbia will NEVER be allowed into EU.

Tekee aivan samaa mitä Kreikka teki 2015 ja mitä Italia teki 2013-2015 eli päästää porukat läpi joka houkuttelee lisää porukkaa tulemaan.

Kyllä näemmä muuallakin on poliitikot tyhmiä kuin Suomessa...

Bosnians protest against migrant influx in border town

Several hundred Bosnians protested on Sunday against an influx of migrants in the western border town of Bihac, warning of security and health risks from thousands sleeping rough.

Bosnia, spared the big migrant wave of 2015, is now seeing an influx of people trying to reach wealthier nations via neighboring Croatia, a European Union member.

About 25,000 people from Asia and North Africa entered the Balkan country from Serbia and Montenegro last year, and about 9,000 have arrived this year.

Around 6,000 are in Bihac and Velika Kladusa, two towns bordering Croatia, but only about 3,500 have been sheltered in four transit centers there.

Others sleep in parks and abandoned buildings.

"I came here to express dissatisfaction with the situation politicians have brought upon both us and migrants," said Maja Tabakovic, 35, at the peaceful rally in the main square.

"The whole town is feeling insecure."

Town authorities have long called on Bosnia's national government to lift the burden from the border area and accommodate migrants elsewhere.

But a government has not been formed eight months after a general election and state institutions in charge of migration and asylum issues are operating in a care-taking capacity.

Bosnia Police Search Homes for Migrants, Refugees

Police in northwest Bosnia are raiding homes in search of migrants and refugees, following a controversial decision to relocate them outside towns in a new camp near the Croatian border.

Police in northwest Bosnia on Monday conducted house-to-house searches for migrants and refugees after a controversial decision was made to relocate all migrants and refugees from private homes in the Bihac area to a new temporary tent centre at Vucjak, near the border with Croatia.

Police in Una Sana Canton, one out of ten administrative units in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, one of two entities in the country, on Monday said searches were ongoing.

"The actions are carried out mostly in Bihac, where the situation is currently the most critical, but also in Velika Kladusa. We will work every day until we somehow resolve this situation, Ale Siljdjelic, spokesperson of Una Sana Canton Police, told the Sarajevo-based news site Klix.ba

The UN country team in Bosnia on Friday said it considered the new camp accommodation completely unsuitable.

"The UN expresses serious concern with regard to this decision, as we firmly believe that this location is entirely inadequate for the purpose of accommodating people there," a press release issued on Friday noted.

The EU Delegation in Bosnia has also opposed the location of the new camp, noting that it is on the border with an EU country, and will clearly become a magnet for migrants and cause more problems, N1 reported on Wednesday.

(...)

According to the Council of Ministers, the state government of Bosnia, in the first five months of this year, more than 9,000 migrants and refugees were registered entering the country.

Bosnia registered a total of about 25,000 migrants and refugees on its territory in 2018, but only 3,500 stayed in the country while the rest quickly moved on.

Those who stayed and are registered in Bosnia have been placed in seven locations: in Sarajevo, Mostar, Bihac, Cazin and Velika Kladusa. Most are in Bihac.

Vucjakin alue on YK:n mukaan täynnä maamiinoja. Ja lisäksi siirtolaisleiri on rakennettu vanhan kaatopaikan päälle.

UN: Bosnia moves migrants to area infested with land mines

The U.N. office in Bosnia said Friday that authorities in the country have transferred 282 migrants who were squatting illegally in the northwestern town of Bihac to a tent camp near an area infested with land mines left over from a 1990s war.

U.N. officials said in statement that the Vucjak camp is "unsuitable for human habitation." In addition to land mines, the camp sits on top a former landfill.

Bosnian police found the migrants Friday staying illegally in two privately-owned houses and moved them to the tent camp. Three migrants were arrested for resisting police who raided the houses, finding 180 migrants in one and another 102 in the other. Four policemen were injured during the raid.

Authorities said they transferred the migrants to a tent camp in the area where they will be provided with food, basic facilities and medical care.

But the U.N. said in its statement that the Vucjak camp "poses very significant health and safety risks and is currently not equipped to accommodate migrants and refugees in accordance with international standards."

"The site is located very close to land mine infested areas" from the 1992-95 war, the statement said. "There is also a high fire and explosion hazard due to the possible presence of methane gas underground, as the site was a former landfill."

Held back from EU by Croatia, refugees stuck in Bosnia

Under a new curfew imposed by authorities in the western Bosnia city of Bihac, residents of the Bira refugee shelter are picked up by the police and returned to their confines if they're caught out between the hours of 10 p.m and 6 a.m.

"We can't go to the supermarket," said Tahir, a man from Pakistan. "We can't buy anything to eat. We are not allowed to leave the camp, as if this were a prison — but we don't want to be prisoners." He added: "The situation is impossible."

Authorities in Bihac, a city of about 45,000 people, imposed the measure after months of demanding support from the central government of Bosnia-Herzegovina in Sarajevo.

A group of young Pakistanis who have been repeatedly picked up by Croatian police while trying to cross the border said officers had even taken their mobile phones — but giving up is not an option: "We will try again." As soon as it got dark, they planned to make their way through the woods. Some of the displaced people in Bira have tried more than 30 times.

"We've been on the road for a year and a half," one told DW. Hoping to go to Italy, the group trekked to Bosnia-Herzegovina via Iran, Turkey, Greece, North Macedonia and Serbia, and, everywhere they went, they had water, food and a roof over their heads. "This is the worst so far," one said. "We have to sleep out in the open air, and they bring water in tanks — like for cattle."

Deputy Prosecutor General Ivan Geshev: Over 17 members of the largest crime group for migrant smuggling detained

Over 17 members of the largest crime group for migrant smuggling have been detained, Deputy Prosecutor General Ivan Geshev told a press briefing, a Focus News Agency reporter said.

"It is the largest group for smuggling of migrants through Bulgarian territory. We became aware of it during the Europe-wide Operation Halifax in 2017. Back then, actions took place in Belgium, Bulgaria, the UK, with the assistance of France, Germany, and over 40 persons were detained," Geshev reminded reporters.

The migrants were smuggled through the Serbian border, he said. "I cannot tell you how much the Bulgarian members of the group were taking, but it must have been at least several thousand euros per person," he said.

He further said that such a complex and large-scale organisation has never been seen in Bulgaria so far.

Traffickers 'transported 30 to 40 migrants a week' through Bulgaria to Western Europe

A human trafficking group bust by Bulgarian law enforcement had been trafficking about 30 to 40 people a week through the country to Western Europe, a news conference in Sofia on June 25 was told.

Charges of participating in an organised crime group had been laid against eight people. The group had been led by an Iraqi, prosecutor Siyka Mileva said.

The news conference was held a day after an announcement that an operation led by the Special Prosecutor's Office and involving the anti-organised crime squad and the State Agency for National Security had been held against what prosecutors described as the country's largest migrant trafficking group.

The group was said to have transported people, mainly refugees from Afghanistan, by boat to enter Bulgaria via the Maritsa River. From there, they were accommodated in places in Sofia and elsewhere before being taken across the border out of the country, Mileva said.

Two Bulgarians have been charged as members of the group.

Mileva said that members of the group, nationals of Iraq and Afghanistan, had legal trading businesses in Bulgaria and some were married to Bulgarian citizens.

Most of the "clients'' of the group were boys aged 16, the news conference was told.

Will BiH's Authorities send Army on the Border to prevent Migrants entering?

Controversy has erupted in Bosnia over a government proposal to deploy military units to the borders with Serbia and Montenegro, in order to physically block migrants from illegally crossing and entering the country.

The Bosnian government has asked the defense ministry to prepare and send the president's office a measure that would allow the country to deploy military units at the borders with Serbia and Montenegro in order to physically impede migrants and refugees from illegally crossing into the country, according to reports in the local media.

Prime Minister Denis Zvizdic, a Bosnian Muslim, said the border crossings are precisely defined and about ten are heavily used. At the same time as presenting the proposal, he announced the entry of 100 to 150 new cadets into the ranks of the border police, as well as the reinforced border control in collaboration with the police forces of Serbia and Montenegro.

Response from Bosnian Serb leader Milorad Dodik

The current rotating president of the tripartite Bosnian presidency, Milorad Dodik, a Bosnian Serb immediately argued against the proposal. "It's understood that the supreme commander of the armed forces is the president," Dodik said. "And I, as president, will not permit the borders to be closed," he stated.

Dodik said Zvizdic should find a solution to the migrant problem through dialogue with Serbia and Montenegro, and not just send the army to the border. The Bosnian Serb leader has repeatedly said he will not allow the closure of the borders, emphasizing at the same time that no migrant will be received in to the Republika Srpska (RS, the majority Serbian part of Bosnia).

Growing intolerance

In recent months, with an uptick in the number of migrants journeying along the Balkan route, the number of migrant arrivals in Bosnia-Herzegovina has grown considerably too. Most refugees are concentrated in the towns of Bihac and Velika Kladusa, in the country's far northwest at the border with Croatia.

During the night between Monday and Tuesday, RS police intercepted and escorted a group of a few dozen migrants to Banja Luka, the capital of the RS, whose residents are showing increasing intolerance for the refugee presence in the city. The migrants were then divided into three groups, with some headed towards Prijedor, some towards Sarajevo and others towards Bihac, Info Migrants reports.

Slovenia stops 69 migrants in 24 hours at Croatian border

In six months, 5,345 illegal crossings, up on 2018 figures

Slovenian police have intercepted and arrested 69 migrants who were attempting to illegally cross into the country from the border with Croatia over the past 24 hours, said local media.

The majority of those stopped, 48, were in the districts of Koper, Ilirska Bistrica, and Piran, and the majority of migrants were citizens of Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, India, Kosovo, and Turkey.

Only seven migrants said they intended to seek asylum with Slovenian authorities, while the others were brought back to Croatian authorities.

Slovenian Interior Ministry data showed there were 5,345 illegal crossings in the first six months of 2019 at Slovenian borders, the majority from Croatia, compared to a total of 3,633 during the same period in 2018.

Näillä oli mukanaan serbialainen opas, joka ajoi heidät minibussilla lähelle rajaa. Häntä syytetään nyt ihmissalakuljetuksesta.

Group of 18 migrants detained on field near border with Hungary

A group formed of 18 migrants coming from Asia and Africa has been detained in a field near the border with Hungary in Arad County as the migrants were attempting to illegally cross the border into the neighboring state with the aid of a Serbian guide.

The border policemen in Varsand undertook actions to combat illegal migration together with their colleagues in Timis County, and approximately 500 meters from the border with Hungary they observed several persons that were walking in a field.

"Because those mentioned did not justify their presence in the border area, they were taken to the Border Police Precinct in Varsand where, following checks, the border policemen determined the group contains five Iraki citizens, two Syrians and eleven Somalis. During the investigations, our policemen determined that the foreign nationals were dropped off near the border by a Serbian citizen driving a minibus. A team from the Varsand Border Police immediately identified him in a nearby gas station as N.M., aged 51," a press release sent on Saturday by the Arad County Border Police says.

The 18 migrants - seven men and five women with ages between 18 and 45, as well as six minors aged between 3 months and 16 years - stated that they wanted to illegally cross the border into Hungary, where the Serbian national was going to pick them up and drop them off in a Western European country.

The guide is under investigation for trafficking migrants, while the 18 persons are under investigation for attempting to illegally cross the state border.

Kaiken muun lisäksi Bosniassa notkuvia matuja piinaa myös helleaalto

Voi voi, kukaan ei ole pakottanut noita huijareita tuonne.

Jutussa mainitaan myös kiinnostavana yksityiskohtana, että Bihacin alueelle saapuu tällä hetkellä noin 100 läpsyttelijää päivässä, mutta samaan aikaan Kroatia on vahvistanut rajavalvontaansa huomattavasti eli ilmeisesti yhä useampi jää jumiin Bosniaan. Arvioiden mukaan maassa on nyt 8 000 matua.

Vucjakin uusi läpsyttelijäleiri, jonka olosuhteista on yksi jos toinenkin ulissut, on kuulemma nyt lempinimeltään "The Jungle", mikä viittaa Calaisin vastaavaan leiriin.

Heatwave adds to the woes of migrants stranded Bosnia

Stranded in Bosnia, thousands of migrants face yet one more hurdle on their journey towards the European Union: the scorching summer heat in the Balkans.

Under a leaden sky, Saleh Alhasan and his friends hurry to reach the shade of the woods after failing yet again to cross the border to Croatia, the last barrier on the long and tortuous road into the European Union.

"I tried more than 15 times... It has been 10 months that I try to pass. And I do not want to give up. I just want to see my son" born in Sweden, says the 33-year old Syrian architect.

(...)

They stop at a stream to refresh themselves, exhausted after walking in temperatures exceeding 35 Celsius degrees (95 Fahrenheit).

The men no longer know where to rest.

In Bihac and Velika Kladusa near the Croatian border, reception centres with a capacity for 3,500 run by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) are full.

Saleh and his friends live in unhealthy squats. He wants to return to Sarajevo where, he says, "there are more options" for a fresh attempt to cross the border.

- Tensions with locals -

The flow of newcomers slowed during winter but has now resumed and "a hundred migrants arrive daily in the canton" of Bihac, says regional police spokesman Ale Siljdedic.

"But recently far fewer people succeed in crossing the border. Croatia has considerably reinforced its police presence," he adds.

According to Bosnia's security minister, more than 34,000 migrants from Asia and Africa have illegally entered the country since the beginning of 2018, 11,000 of them this year alone.

Some 8,000 are currently in Bosnia, according to European Commission estimates.

This has caused tensions both among migrants of different nationalities and with locals, who are also poor. Recently, hundreds of migrants occupied public spaces in the town of Bihac, which is home to some 65,000 people.

(...)

His concern was that it was too close to unexploded wartime mines and that there was also a risk of a methane explosion because the zone used to be a landfill site.

This camp became know as "The Jungle" by its occupants -- like the one that sprang up in the northern French port city of Calais, before being torn down in 2016.

Several hundred young men live there in deplorable sanitary conditions, sleeping in tents without beds, without medical assistance, showers or toilets.

Several barrels equipped with faucets provide minimal hygiene facilities.

"It is too hot. We could not rest in the tents," said Suleman Ashraf, a 29-year-old Pakistani trying to get to Spain to join his brother.

The food that arrives twice a day is everything we have here. Some water as well and we survive with that,"

Slovenia ja Kroatia ovat sopineet maiden välisen rajan valvonnan kiristämisestä, sillä laittomia läpsyttelijöitä vyöryy yhä enemmän niiden läpi.

Slovenia ja Italiahan sopivat yhteisistä partioista jo tuossa aiemmin.

Sloveniassa on tänä vuonna otettu kiinni n. 5 000 laitonta (puolet on palautettu Kroatiaan) ja lisäksi n. 130 ihmissalakuljettajaa.

Slovenia to Step Up Control on Border with Croatia

Slovenian Prime Minister Marjan Šarec on Monday announced stepping up the control of the green border with Croatia following more intensified flows of migrants passing through Croatia and Slovenia on their way to Italy and western Europe.

To this end, Slovenia and Italy introduced joint patrols including the police staff from both countries.

After touring the border municipality of Ilirska Bistrica, Šarec said that he could understand the concern expressed by locals facing a growing number of migrants passing through the area, however, sometimes the issue was blown out of proportion for political reasons.

The number of police officers patrolling the borderline has been increased and they will also be assisted by the military and drones, Šarec said, also highlighting the problem of human trafficking.

This year, 5,000 irregular migrants have been arrested in Slovenia, half of whom have been returned to Croatia, and about 130 human traffickers have also been detained.

Kroatia­n presidentti on myöntänyt, että rajavartijat saattavat käyttää hieman voimaa viedessään laittomasti maahan tunkeutuneita "siirtolaisia" takaisin Bosnia­an. Aiemmin on kielletty, että tällaisia muilutuksia olisi tehty.

No, kyseisellä läpsyttelijäporukalla ei ole mitään asiaa olla ylipäätään tuolla, joten ulina jostain mustelmista on turhaa. Pitää olla vähän pelotetta, kun nuo keharit eivät oikein muuta taida ymmärtää.

In Croatia, EU border guards use 'a little bit of force'

Croatia has consistently denied illegally deporting refugees to neighboring Bosnia-Herzegovina. But in a recent TV interview, the Croatian president admitted border guards were forcing migrants back over the border.

Croatia, a member of the European Union since 2013, is aiming to join the border-free Schengen area. But it has become increasingly clear to what lengths the government will go so Croatians can enjoy this freedom of movement.

Over the past year, many refugees trying to cross into the EU through unofficial border crossings between Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina have reported of brutal treatment by Croatian border police. Media reports have shown refugees — including children — with wounds they say were inflicted by police.

Most Croatian media outlets have ignored these reports of incidents taking place less than 150 kilometers (about 90 miles) from the capital, Zagreb. And the Interior Ministry has rejected reports of ill-treatment of refugees along the border, denying border police have been carrying out so-called push-backs.

Denial in Zagreb, silence in Brussels

(...)

Yet, early this month, Croatian President Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic continued to downplay the actions of border police. "When someone travels through this difficult terrain, it's normal for them to get scrapes, bruises and injuries," she told local journalists during a visit to the border. "Next time you hear stories about the brutality of our police officers, you should think twice. They are not violent, I can guarantee that."

Grabar-Kitarovic insisted that police were not pushing refugees back over the border, claiming the people trying to cross into the EU weren't refugees anyway, but simply economic migrants.

'A little bit of force is needed'

But a few days later, while speaking with SRF during a visit to Switzerland, the president ended up confirming exactly what Croatian politicians have been denying for months, essentially admitting that Croatian police have been carrying out push-backs.

"I have spoken with the interior minister, the chief of police and officers on the ground, and they assured me they have not been using excessive force," said Grabar-Kitarovic, as the camera was running. "Of course, a little bit of force is needed when doing push-backs."

Mielenkiintoinen ja pitkä juttu Balkanin matuista, joiden "pelin" päätepisteenä on Italian Trieste. Sieltä toki usein jatketaan sitten muualle Eurooppaan.

Kreikka -> Pohjois-Makedonia -> Serbia -> Bosnia -> Kroatia -> Slovenia -> Italia. Useimmiten vaikeudet alkavat vasta Kroatian ja Slovenian viranomaisten kanssa.

Ei mikään ihme, että Salvini suunnittelee Italian ja Slovenian rajalle jonkinlaista aitaa.

Laittomien siirtolaisten Balkanin reitillä pelaaman "pelin" voittona on pääsy Italiaan

Balkanin reittiä pitkin saapuvien laittomien siirtolaisten "peli" alkaa Bosniasta. Peli päättyy Triesteen Italiaan, mutta vain harva pääsee sinne ensimmäisellä yrittämällä Kroatian ja Slovenian poliisin vuoksi.

Bosnialainen lähellä Kroatian rajaa sijaitseva Vučjak on muuttunut telttakaupungiksi. Telttakaupunki on täynnä Balkanin reittiä pitkin syvemmälle Eurooppaan pyrkiviä kolmansien maiden siirtolaisia.

Siirtolaiset ovat lähtöisin useista eri maista, ja monet ovat yrittäneet jo pitkään pääsyä vauraaseen Eurooppaan. He nimittävät läpimurtoyrityksiään "peliksi", kertoo Gli occhi della guerra. Pelin lämmittelykierros alkaa yleensä Turkista, johon osa siirtolaisista saapuu lentoteitse. Pelin lämmittely kulkee Kreikan, Makedonian ja Serbian läpi Bosnia-Hertsegovinaan Kroatian rajan tuntumaan, jossa varsinainen peli alkaa. Makedonian ja Serbian viranomaiset yleensä päästävät siirtolaiset mielellään eteenpäin jatkamaan matkaansa. Kroatian jälkeen peli etenee Slovenian läpi Italian rajalle.  Osa siirtolaisista voittaa pelin ja pääsee rajojen läpi Italiaan. Merkittävä osa jatkaa Italiasta matkaansa syvemmälle Eurooppaan hakemaan mahdollisesti turvapaikkaa.

Eräs nepalilainen siirtolainen on pukeutunut valkoiseen T-paitaan, jossa lukee "World Tour" – Maailman kiertue. Hänkin kertoo määränpäänsä olevan Italia.

– Me kaikki haluamme päästä Italiaan, mies myöntää.

"Ei papereita, ei rahaa, mutta me menemme Italiaan"

80 prosenttia siirtolaisista aloittaa pelinsä Velika Kladušan kaupungista Bosniassa. Siellä siirtolaiset asuvat viidakoksi kutsumassaan metsässä.

Bihacin poliisin tiedottaja kertoo noin 20 000 siirtolaisen päässeen läpi kahden viimeisen vuoden aikana. Alueella oman pelinsä alkamista odottelee arviolta 5 000 siirtolaista. Koko maassa laittomia siirtolaisia arvioidaan olevan noin 10 000. Joka päivä alueelle saapuu noin 100 uutta siirtolaista.

Triesteen pääsy saattaa vaatia kymmeniä yrityskertoja

Italiassa sijaitsevaan Triesteen pääsy on vaikeaa. Eräs pakistanilainen kertoo päässeensä 10 kilometrin päähän kaupungista, mutta sitten Slovenian poliisi sai hänet. Hän sanoo odottavansa muutamia päiviä ennen uutta yritystä.

Toinen pakistanilainen kertoo olevansa yhtä taipumaton yrityksissään päästä Italiaan.

– Tulen Afganistanista, ja olen matkustanut 4 vuotta. Eilen meni pieleen. Slovenian poliisi otti minut kiinni ja passitti takaisin Bosniaan. Yritän uudelleen niin kauan kunnes pääsen Italiaan, Ahmad Zia sanoo.

Kroatian poliisia pelätään kuitenkin enemmän kuin Slovenian kollegoja. Kroatian poliisi on tulpannut rajan pimeänäkölaitteilla, droneilla, lämpökameroilla ja helikoptereilla. Tiukan rajavalvonnan ansiosta vain 10 prosenttia siirtolaisten läpimurtoyrityksistä onnistuu ensi yrittämällä.

Kun laiton siirtolainen on saatu kiinni Kroatiassa, hänet passitetaan takaisin Bosniaan huolimatta siirtolaisten selittelyistä, että he ovat vain läpikulkumatkalla Italiaan. Kroatialaiset viranomaiset puolestaan takavarikoivat palautettujen siirtolaisten älypuhelimet, joihin on merkitty paras reitti, jonka jo läpi päässeet ovat pelinsä aloittaville ilmoittaneet.

(...)

Kaikki toistavat samaa käsikirjoitusta: ei papereita, syntynyt 1. tammikuuta. Vain syntymävuosi vaihtelee. Laittomat siirtolaiset tietävät, että iäksi kannattaa ilmoittaa 17 vuotta, sillä alaikäisten saama suoja on parempi eikä heitä palauteta.

– Rehellisesti sanottuna, emme tiedä, keitä nämä ovat. 5-10 prosenttia saattaa olla omasta maastaan paenneita rikollisia, emmekä voi sulkea pois ekstremistejäkään, kuten entisiä ISIS-militantteja, poliisin tiedottaja sanoo.

Slovenia's army says 35 troops will join police in patrolling borders in the southwest of the country after increased numbers of migrants have been spotted in the area.

The army said Sunday that the soldiers will bring their equipment to help the police operating in the area of the coastal town of Koper, which is near the Croatian and Italian borders. They will deploy on Monday.

Koper police have reported apprehending 122 migrants on Friday after discovering several small makeshift migrant camps in a forested area. Most migrants came from Afghanistan and at least five minors were among them.

Slovenia's army has taken part in border patrols alongside police since 2016 after hundreds of thousands of migrants passed through the country of 2 million while seeking to reach Western Europe.

Croatian policeman speaks out about migrant abuse

By  ANSA Latest update : 2019/07/19

A person claiming to be a Croatian policeman has sent an anonymous letter claiming that they receive orders to confiscate migrants' money and destroy their cell phones.
Croatia's public ombudswoman Lora Vidovic said she received an anonymous letter in March from a person claiming to be a member of the Croatian border police, which detailed the use of brutal force against migrants during so-called pushbacks.

The letter alleged that Croatian border police had received orders to push migrants back to Bosnia without checking their ID documents, to take away their money, and to destroy their cell phones.

Dozens of pushbacks each day

The anonymous report stated that between 20 and 50 people are pushed back from Croatia into Bosnia every day in this manner. The alleged policeman also detailed acts of violence he claimed were used by some of his colleagues, including "beating migrants and stealing their belongings, and doing basically whatever they want without any limits and with the approval of their superiors and the police headquarters."

The Specialised Prosecutor's Office and the Directorate for Combatting Organised Crime disrupted an organized crime group on trafficking and sexual exploitation of women, Deputy Chief Prosecutor Ivan Geshev said at a briefing at the Court of Justice on July 29.

The organized crime group was involved in the trafficking of migrants and the exploitation of women. It transported migrants through the interior of the country to Vidin, from where, with fast and luxury motorboats, they transferred them to the Romanian bank of the Danube, where they were handed over to local traffickers.

Geshev explained that yesterday the authorities detained a car with 9 migrants, 3 of whom are children, 3 women, 3 are elderly men. 7 of them are of Iraqi origin, two are Iranians. Some of the members of the group were detained on Danube Island, where they were having a party. Boats of Border Police were used for the detention. The celebrations somehow ended up sad.

The prosecution has enough evidence that it was this group that ordered the failed arson of the police station in Vidin a few months ago, after which two of the potential perpetrators were detained.

Bosnia and Herzegovina's Security Minister Dragan Mektić has again accused Croatian police of forcibly returning illegal migrants to Bosnia and Herzegovina and violating the country's territorial integrity.

"We have the information to prove this, that they enter our territory armed, and footage showing what they do to migrants who cross into Croatia from Bosnia and Herzegovina, they beat them, take away their money and mobile phones, and return them to us," Mektić told the Bosnian Faktor news website on Thursday.

Mektić said that his ministry does not have the authority to respond because this is a foreign policy matter, adding that all information available has been referred to the country's presidency from which they expect a reaction.

"Something has to be done, there has to be a response. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has also been notified that Croatian police enter Bosnia and Herzegovina armed, and they, too, must respond and protect the integrity and sovereignty of Bosnia and Herzegovina," Mektić said.
