6 min
Disponible jusqu'au 23/08/2027
Founded in 2019 in Vienna, the human rights and humanitarian aid organisation SOS Balkanroute, which is funded by donations, looks after people fleeing
their country and supports local humanitarian aid networks in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Since Hungary and then Croatia closed their borders, more people are trying to enter the EU via Bosnia. But it's a riskier route. We join SOS Balkanroute on the border between Bosnia and Croatia. It's an area where defenseless people are exposed to smuggler networks and brutal pushbacks.
