Immigrants from sailboat received medical assistance
Coast Guard ship “Hrvatska Kostajnica” arrived to a motor sailboat in the Fisheries Protection Zone, south of the Mljet Island, having 65 immigrants onboard from Somalia, Egypt, Syria and Afghanistan.
According to available information, the ship sailed with immigrants from Greece, and its destination was the coast of Italy.
The crew of the “Hrvatska Kostajnica” ship for now cannot determine who the commander of the motor yacht is, because none of those present on the boat does not want to confirm this function. Given that the boat is in international waters, members of the Coast Guard cannot proceed without the consent of the commander of the boat.
So far, the immigrants were given water and food, and doctor from the Split Naval Base, located on the “Hrvatska Kostajnica” delivered them medications.
