(ANSA-AFP) - BELGRADE, AUG 22 - Serbian police were searching
for some seven missing people Thursday after a boat carrying
migrants toward Bosnia on the Drina River capsized, police said.
Serbia is one of the main transit countries on the so-called
"Balkan route" on which migrants attempt to reach the European
Union. It borders four EU nations. Early on Thursday a boat with
about 25 migrants on board capsized near the border town of
Ljubovija in Serbia, according to information from those
rescued, police said in a statement. Police found 18 people on
the riverbank, including three children, who managed to reach
the shore, and rescuers were searching for the others.
