Mijatovic therefore "urges the authorities to provide adequate accommodation by using all available refugee reception centers and to make sure that all asylum-seekers and migrants receive adequate food, health-care and administrative assistance."

The CoE official "recognizes that the situation with migration might presents social and economic challenges for Bosnia-Herzegovina but at the same she underscores the country’s obligation to ensure assistance and access to fair and effective asylum procedures and a need to address it in a human rights compliant way," the organization said.

In her letter, Mijatovic also requested information on the safeguards that the authorities intend to put in place in this regard.
