Police in Croatia today said they have intercepted a group of 10 migrants in a dense forest, and another two who had apparently died en route.
Police in the central town of Karlovac said the group who entered the country illegally were found after a tip from locals.
An investigation about the deaths is being conducted, the police said without specifying any of the migrants' nationalities.
Local media said they likely were killed in a landslide in a rugged terrain after they crossed from neighboring Bosnia.
Several thousand migrants remain stuck in Bosnia as they aim to reach the wealthy nations in Western Europe.
Migrants often first try to cross to European Union member Croatia.
