Posavje police strive to intercept migrants right at border

Dobova, 20 September - Part of the police's roadmap to tackle a surge in illegal border crossings is to intercept migrants right at the border with Croatia in Posavje, an area in eastern Slovenia where the increase has been tangible. Ever since police presence there was boosted a few weeks ago, the situation has been improving, the police said.
