A 24-year-old Moroccan man was stabbed to death in a fight between migrants in a town in northwestern Bosnia, police said Saturday. The violence broke out in a street in Velika Kladusa late Friday when one man attacked another with a knife, police spokeswoman Snezana Galic said, quoted by N1 television. She said the victim, who died from a stab wound, was a 24-year-old Moroccan national, but did not give details on the perpetrator. Velika Kladusa currently hosts some 350 migrants, according to official figures. For the past few months, Bosnia has faced an influx of migrants passing through on their way towards Western Europe. More than 5,500 illegal migrants have entered the country since the start of the year. They are predominantly young men, but lately also families with children. The so-called Balkans route, through which hundreds of thousands of migrants arrived in Europe in 2015-16, was closed in March 2016 but small numbers of people, seeking alternative ways, still cross the region to reach the European Union. They gather in northwestern Bosnia, in Bihac and Velika Kladusa, near the border with EU member Croatia.
