Serbian police have arrested a hunter after an Afghan migrant was shot dead in the country’s southeast near the border with Bulgaria, Belgrade said on Wednesday.
Security forces were patrolling near the town of Pirot late Tuesday when they “heard a shot and then met six migrants, one of whom had been shot in the chest,” a defence ministry statement said.
There were also four hunters on the spot, one of whom was arrested after an initial probe. “Upon the arrival of emergency services, doctors could only establish the death of a 20-year old male citizen of Afghanistan,” the statement added, providing no further details. Serbia lies on the
so-called Balkan route taken by migrants.
