(AP) Serbian police on Sunday said they have discovered an illegal migrant camp near the borders with Hungary and Romania, and detained suspected people smugglers.
The makeshift camp was discovered in the village of Srpski Krstur, by the bank of the Tisa river, a police statement said. It didn’t specify how many migrants were found at the site.
A police video from the scene showed several people facedown on the ground with their hands behind their heads, as special police searched tents and wooden huts. The footage showed confiscated mobile phones and knives.
“This smuggling gang has committed criminal acts and made the citizens feel unsafe,” Interior Minister Aleksandar Vulin said. “This will not be tolerated.”
