Slovenian police apprehend over 30 illegal migrants since Thursday

LJUBLJANA, April 13 (Xinhua) -- Slovenian police reported on Friday that they have apprehended more than 30 migrants who illegally crossed the border coming into Slovenian territory since Thursday, most of them came from Syria, Afghanistan, Algeria and Turkey.

Slovenian Press Agency STA reported a deteriorating situation of illegal migrants entering the nation since this year, citing the statistics by the Slovenian police that a total of 612 illegal border crossings had been recorded in the first three months of the year.

The detailed report indicated that most of the migrants came from the Bosnian town of Velika Kladusa, which is the closest to Slovenia, said STA.

According to a report by the public broadcaster TV Slovenija, most of the migrants in the Bosnian town want to reach Western and Central Europe, while some also say Slovenia is their final destination because they have relatives here.

While Bosnian authorities told the broadcaster that everything was under control and that no major influx of migrants was expected, Croatia has intensified border patrols recently. Enditem
