BRATUNAC, Bosnia-Herzegovina (AP) — Officials in Serbia and Bosnia say a baby was among at least 10 people who drowned after a boat packed with migrants overturned while carrying them from Serbia to Bosnia. Police in Serbia received a call around 5 a.m. on Thursday from their counterparts in Bosnia and a citizen who reported the accident. Serbia’s interior minister says that 18 migrants, including three children, managed to cross to Bosnia. Migrants using the so-called Balkan land route in their efforts to reach Western Europe come to Serbia from Bulgaria or North Macedonia before moving on to Hungary, Croatia or Bosnia.
