From early 2018 Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) became the main transit route for migrants on their path to reach EU and Western countries. This phenomenon has received a significant amount of attention in the country's domestic media. Since media is what people usually turn to in their aim of understanding of who the migrants are, where they come from and what their intentions are, it holds a significant power of representing and forming public views. In news, migrants are often attributed to creating problems leading to various forms of threats towards the local population. Due to the ethnic composition of the country, the most commonly read newspapers within each of the three ethnic groups – Serbs, Bosniaks and Croats – were analyzed to explore whether they are framing migrants as a security, cultural threat, or a non-threat and if there are any differences in the framing process between the three ethnic groups. Our findings suggest that variations exist between the groups as Serb newspapers generally framed migrants in a more negative context than the rest. However, the predominant framing of migrants consisted in the form of a security threat in the majority of newspaper articles. Criticism against authorities regarding their methods of handling issues related to migrants was also discovered to be a recurring trend among several newspapers.
