Bosnia Border Police Block 96 Illegal Crossings, Identify Two Smugglers

On September 2, 2023, Bosnian border police in Gradiška, with the Republic of Srpska interior ministry, prevented 96 illegal border crossings and identified two smugglers. This is a routine enforcement action, not a major shift in migration patterns or policy. It underscores ongoing migrant smuggling pressure along the Western Balkans route.
