Migranten in Bosnien und Herzegowina im rechtlichen Niemandsland und in humanitärer Not
Migrants in Bosnia and Hercegovina in a Legal No-man’s Land and in Humanitarian misery

Summary/Abstract: Since 2017 more and more migrants and refugees arrived in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This is a consequence of tightened border controls and the fence between Serbia and Hungary.These migrants are predominantly single young men from Afghanistan and Pakistan who are trying to enter Croatia via the Bosnian canton Una-Sana. In Bosnia and Herzegovina there are not enough reception centres for the thousands of homeless people. Local politicians are increasingly opposing attempts by the central government to build new centres or reopen existing ones. In addition to the humanitarian crisis winter conditions endanger the health and lives of these migrants. Obviously, Bosnia and Hercegovina is not in a position to carry out legal proceedings to clarify the legal status of these people. There is also a lack of cooperation with EU states from which migrants traveled to Bosnia and Herzegovina.
