Migrant boat capsizes in Serbia river, bodies found

Tragic Incident on Drina River: Four Bodies Found After Migrant Boat Capsizes

Rescuers made a heartbreaking discovery on Thursday as they searched for survivors following a migrant boat capsizing in the Drina River, which acts as a border between Serbia and Bosnia. Reports suggest that around seven individuals are still missing after the boat, carrying approximately 25 migrants, overturned near Ljubovija in Serbia earlier that morning.

Serbia serves as a crucial transit point on the infamous “Balkan route” for migrants seeking entry into the European Union. The incident was reported to Serbian authorities by border police in Bosnia and a local resident. Despite their efforts, only 18 people, including three children, were found ashore, triggering a continued search for the missing individuals.

Although the number of migrants passing through Serbia has decreased significantly in recent years, the perilous journey remains fraught with danger as many still rely on smugglers to navigate the treacherous path to EU nations like Hungary and Croatia.
