Two migrants thought to have sneaked into EU member Croatia from neighbouring Bosnia were found dead Sunday in a forest some 90 kilometres (55 miles) from the border, Croatian police said. "Twelve people were found of whom two were dead," police spokeswoman Senka Staroveski told reporters, adding that they were found early Sunday in a wood near the town of Dreznica.
She did not provide further details such as the migrants' age, nationality or the cause of death, saying only that an investigation was under way. Bosnian authorities estimate that some 4,000 migrants and refugees are currently in Bosnia, mainly in the towns of Bihac and Velika Kladusa, both near the Croatian border, hoping to enter the EU along the so-called "Balkans Route". Many have been camping out in parks or abandoned buildings, while the Red Cross and local volunteers have been providing meals and other basic services.
