A van carrying eleven illegal migrants from Iraq, Syria and Pakistan, including two minors and one child, was stopped by the Slovak police on the outskirts of Bratislava near the Austrian border on Wednesday. The vehicle with Austrian licence plates was driven by a 38-year old Slovak. According to the police, they most probably crossed the Hungarian-Slovak border with the vehicle, intending to enter Austria. The driver attempted to flee after halting the vehicle following a police call, but the officers caught him within a few moments. The man may spend as many as ten years in prison if convicted. Meanwhile, the migrants were taken by the foreign police.
