Serbian police were alerted around 5 a.m. by their Bosnian counterparts and a local resident who reported the incident, as stated by Interior Minister Ivica Dacic. He noted that out of the 25 people aboard the boat at the time of the accident, 18 migrants\u2014including three children\u2014successfully reached Bosnia. &#8220;Authorities and rescue teams are continuing their search efforts in the Drina River and nearby areas,&#8221; Dacic mentioned in his statement. Among those who made it to safety, 16 are from Syria and two are from Egypt, including ten minors.<\/p>\n<p>Bosnian emergency official Boris Trninic previously indicated that there were approximately 30 individuals on board, with about 15 managing to escape unharmed; however, confirming the exact number of passengers has proven difficult. Migrants often utilize what is known as the Balkan land route in their attempts to reach Western Europe after arriving in Serbia from Bulgaria or North Macedonia before proceeding towards Hungary, Croatia, or Bosnia. In their quest for better opportunities away from war and poverty, many rely on human smugglers for unauthorized border crossings.
