Two human smugglers held
ZAGREB (AFP) - Croatian officials arrested two men as they tried to smuggle seven Afghans and one Pakistani into the country from Serbia, Croatian police said Tuesday.
The two Slovak men, aged 38 and 50, were stopped in a van at the border post of Ilok, in eastern Croatia, and will appear before a local court, police officer Ante Zovak told AFP.
Officers found the seven Afghans and one Pakistani, aged between 13 and 17, hidden in the van in a roof space designed for luggage.
The would-be immigrants have now been sent to a reception centre in eastern Croatia. Croatia, which hopes to join the European Union by 2011, is one of the main transit countries for illegal immigrants trying to reach Europe.
