There were about 25 people in the boat. Police and rescuers found 18 on shore, three of them children. 8 bodies were pulled out of the river.

On the Drina River, which flows along the border between Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, a boat carrying migrants capsized on the night of August 22. Eight people were pulled from the water. This was announced by the head of the rescue team of the Office of Civil Protection of Republika Srpska, Vladan Rankic, as reported by Radio Liberty’s Balkan service.

According to him, the search for some other people, including the mother and daughter, is still ongoing.

According to migrants who reached the shore, there were about 25 people in the boat. Police and rescuers found 18 on shore, three of them children.

According to the Serbian Ministry of Internal Affairs, of the 18 survivors, 16 were from Syria and two were from Egypt.

Over the past ten years, the Drina River has claimed the lives of at least 40 migrants trying to cross it, Radio Liberty reports. Serbia is part of the so-called Balkan route, through which migrants pass through to Western Europe. Last year, more than 100 thousand migrants passed through Serbia, which is 12% less than in 2022.

We remind you that a minibus carrying about 50 migrants overturned in southwestern Serbia. Due to the accident, more than 30 people were injured.

It was reported that in 2023, 8,565 migrant deaths were registered worldwide, which is 20% more than the previous year. The previous highest number was recorded in 2016 (8,084 deaths).
