Director of the B&H Border Police Zoran Galić held a meeting today with Security Minister Selmo Cikotić and associates and discussed the preparations for a new wave of migrants which is expected soon.

On that occasion, they discussed the situation at the state border and the measures that need to be taken in connection with illegal migration, with an emphasis on the eastern border where the greatest migration pressure is and the Una-Sana Canton, where most migrants are.

Speaking about the activities carried out by the Border Police in the fight against illegal migration, Galić said that all the capacities of the Border Police are maximally focused on the protection of the state border.

-Our biggest problem is still the lack of staff, so we are trying to compensate by redeployment and internal relocation to the eastern and northeastern part of the border, and members of other police agencies have been engaged to help the Border Police. In addition to all the other problems, we have the situation with the covid-19 virus, there have never been greater challenges for the Border Police than in previous years- said Galić and thanked Minister Cikotić, who was engaged to find funds for the B&H BP.

Minister Cikotić pointed out that the B&H Border Police has the full support of the Ministry of Security and that they have made maximum efforts to procure material and technical resources and increase human capacity in the Border Police, stated the B&H Border Police.
