The last twenty migrants and refugees who stayed at the Temporary Reception Center "Sedra" in Cazin were transferred to "Borići" center in Bihać yesterday. The employed staff left, and the complete equipment was taken out of the facility, so it can be stated that this temporary center is closed as of today.

There is still no official statement from the Service for Foreigners’ Affairs of B&H or international organizations, but it was previously confirmed that the agreement on financing "Sedra", in which vulnerable categories of migrants and refugees have stayed for almost three years, expires today.

Minister of the Interior of the Una-Sana Canton, Nermin Kljajić, also announced the closure of "Sedra" by the end of the month, adding that according to their information, such a decision was made due to the smaller number of migrants coming and staying in this part of B&H.

-It is evident that a smaller number of migrants come to the area of our canton this year, so all indicators show that the Reception Center 'Borići' in Bihać is enough to take care of vulnerable categories of the migrant population- said Minister Kljajić.
