Considering that the Una-Sana Canton and the City of Bihac are the most burdened by the migrant crisis, the Prime Minister of the USC Mustafa Ruznic, the Commissioner of Police of the USC Mujo Koricic and the Mayor of Bihac Suhret Fazlic also attended the meeting.
The focus was on finding a solution to control the movement and stay of migrants during the coming winter.
