Bosnia moves migrants into army tents after criticism
Al Jazeera, 17 Jan 2021
Under pressure from the European Union, Bosnian authorities have started moving migrants into heated army tents after a snowstorm hit the burned-out Lipa camp, outside the northwestern city of Bihac.
In December, a temporary camp for migrants in Lipa was set on fire, leaving about 900 people bereft of shelter in sub-zero temperatures.
Bosnian authorities plan to build a larger camp.
Migrants stuck in Bosnia are hoping to reach western Europe through Bosnia's neighbour, Croatia, from where it would be easier to travel on to other EU member countries.
