Police in the Bizeljsko region of Slovenia arrested a Moldovan citizen who was driving a van carrying 29 foreign nationals who had entered the country without permission. The stop occurred in the morning hours after the authorities received a tip about the illegal transport. Later that same day, officers halted a second van marked with Hungarian plates on a highway. The second vehicle contained its driver and 16 additional foreign passengers. Both drivers were taken into custody along with the people they were transporting. The operation was described as a crackdown on human‑smuggling networks.
