Croatian police found the bodies of four migrants on the border with Slovenia

Croatian police reported the discovery of the bodies of four migrants and 15 more emaciated people on the border with Slovenia. Migrants could become victims of human trafficking. This was reported by the Reuters news agency on May 4.

According to police, the dead and injured migrants were found near the border town of Karlovac. Two of the survivors were in serious condition and were sent to the hospital. 13 people were placed in a local refugee center.

It was established that an unknown truck driver had dropped the group off at the border. All of them reported "inhumane conditions" during the trip.

According to the newspaper, the investigation is ongoing. At the same time, Reuters notes that criminal groups operate in the region, in particular those involved in human trafficking. Many of them take advantage of the insecurity of migrants who are trying to reach EU countries via the so-called "Balkan Route".
