The BiH Council of Ministers on Thursday said migrants from the burned Lipa camp will be transferred to the Bira reception center in Bihac, despite local authorities’ opposition.
About 1,000 migrants and refugees who have lingered at the site of the burned camp will now over-winter in what was formerly the largest migrant centre in Bosnia.
The decision concludes a several-day search for solutions to the emergency situation that arose after migrants torched the Lipa camp as it was about to close.
