More than 200 migrants and refugees who had almost no shelter at the Lipa site near Bihać, have already been accommodated in the erected tents of the Armed Forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The Service for Foreigners Affairs confirmed that they are working quickly to determine the total number of people in what is left of the reception camp, i.e. the final works on the preparation of the lot and the remaining tents.

It was announced that the issue of electricity and drinking water supply will be resolved no later than Sunday, while the Red Cross volunteers from the City of Bihać and the Una-Sana Canton (USC) have been working since Saturday morning on setting up a large tent from where meals would be distributed.

The issue of sanitary facilities has also been temporarily resolved. The first meals have already been distributed and both migrants and refugees are finally more satisfied with the living conditions.

-We finally get what we were promised. Now we will at least some kind of roof over our heads, a bed and heating. We also get two daily meals, which is much better compared to the previous period. I hope that we will soon be able to charge our mobile phones so that we can get in touch with our families- said Ali from Pakistan.

Minister of Internal Affairs of the Una-Sana Canton, Nermin Kljajić, emphasizes that a huge organizational step has been made in Lipa near Bihać in recent days, and that the people are much calmer, considering that they will now have more dignified living conditions.

-The situation is much calmer and completely under the control of police officers and the Service for Foreigners Affairs of B&H. I am sure that in a day or two everything will be finished and that somewhere around 700 migrants will finally have better conditions here- Kljajić added.
