News site readies blame for
upcoming “humanitarian crisis.”
By Daniel Kovacevic
“Fears are growing of
a humanitarian crisis at the overcrowded Vujcak camp in northwest Bosnia, after
the Mayor of nearby Bihac warned that his city will no longer pay for essential
services.”
“’Ever since Vucjak was established, the City of Bihac has provided
all kinds of services, including water delivery, through its public companies.
We delivered 20,000 litres of water daily. I sent a letter to both utility
companies that the city would no longer pay for it,’ the Mayor of Bihac, Suhret
Fazlic, told the media on Monday.
“The
largest city in the Una-Sana Canton in northwest Bosnia has seen an influx of
migrants over the past two years and has become a hotspot because of its
proximity to the border with EU-member Croatia, which most migrants are trying
to enter.”
Government
officials say 6,000 to 7,000 “migrants” are on the Una-Sana Canton.
“The EU wants the Bosnian authorities to find a
new location for migrants to stay in more humane conditions, saying that if
such a solution is found, the European Commission would provide funding for
such accommodation.”
(The EU is big on dictating what countries will
do. Sitting in offices in warm and cozy Brussels is a fine place from which to
issue orders.)
