There are higher yeilding destinations than Bosnia which PK should look at.

And also they need to increase flights to other cities.

Isn't Bosnia the favoured destination for illegal immigrants to the EU countries?

Unless they have closed the loophole many Pakistanis, Afghans, Iranians, etc would arrive in Bosnia supposedly for tourism. On this basis they would be issued visas on arrival. From there they would cross various land borders till they reached their destination. At one time most would head for Sangatte in France and then try and hide in trucks through the Channel Tunnel before claiming asylum in the UK.

This information is a couple of years old and trends might have changed since.

I didn't think there would be much demand for Bosnia - Pakistan flights, but, erm you never know
