At least nine migrants drowned after their boat capsized crossing the Drina River, separating Serbia and Bosnia. 18 others, including three children, reached safety. Rescue operations continue as some individuals remain missing. The incident highlights the dangers faced by migrants in the region. Serbia and Bosnia serve as major passages for migrants seeking entry into the European Union, with numbers fluctuating over the years. Cooperation between authorities has led to a decrease in illegal entries, but challenges persist, including the use of smugglers.
