SARAJEVO, Nov. 6 (Xinhua) -- A joint patrol of Bosnia and Herzegovina's (BiH) border police and the European Border and Coast Guard Agency (Frontex) has intercepted an attempt to smuggle nine foreign nationals near the eastern town of Cajnice, authorities said Thursday.

The incident occurred Wednesday when officers spotted a Bosnian-registered vehicle taking in several migrants. The driver, a 55-year-old Bosnian citizen, ignored police orders to stop and fled toward Ustipraca, but was later detained.
