Statement by the United Nations in Bosnia and Herzegovina on the latest developments with the migrant, refugee and asylum-seeker situation in BiH (15 December 2020) [EN/BS]
Format
The UN is deeply concerned about yet another potential humanitarian situation unfolding in some parts of the country due to the lack of shelter options for several thousand migrants, refugees and asylum-seekers.
In 2020, the United Nations continued to work and support the authorities and the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) to address the complexities that arose due to the migrant, refugee and asylum-seeker situation.
The United Nations acknowledges the efforts invested by the people, communities and authorities at all levels to respond to needs of these vulnerable groups. At the same time, we recognize that effective responses to the multiple challenges – whether with the pandemic or the management of the mixed movement – are based on solidarity, coordination and cooperation.
