ZAGREB, Croatia - Croatian police have discovered several dozen migrants hidden in a truck and detained two suspected people smugglers. Police say a patrol stopped the truck with Slovenian license plates early on Tuesday near Gracac, in southern Croatia close to the Adriatic Sea coast. Authorities are working to establish the identity of the migrants who can now seek asylum in Croatia, a European Union member country. Thousands of migrants are travelling through the Balkans aiming to reach Western Europe. From Croatia, migrants go to Slovenia, Austria and other wealthy EU nations.
