THE European Union warned Bosnia today that thousands of refugees face a winter without shelter unless its government acts — though the bloc has itself been accused of complicity in illegal pushbacks and violence against migrants at the Croatian border.

Thousands of people have been sleeping rough in makeshift tent camps or abandoned houses with no facilities.

The closure of a camp in Bihac will make the situation worse, the EU says.
