Serbia Closes Macedonian Border To Unregistered Migrants


Serbia have now closed their border with Macedonia to all unregistered migrants, after imposing stricter border controls.

The Serbian border has been closed to migrants who have not registered at the Greek border.
A Serbian spokesperson said that the border it not totally closed, but only passage is allowed to refugees genuinely affected by war.
“As of today, the signatories to the protocol are actually profiling the migrants, which means stricter border control for the purpose of preventing illegal migration,” she said.
The migrants will nto be given the status of asylum seekers immediately after registering at the Greek border.
A UNHCR Department of Public Relation in Serbia confirmed that the border had been closed since 12:30 local time.
Over 300 migrants in Serbian Presevo and 750  people in Macedonian Tabanovce are waiting to leave Serbia.

On Thursday, Hungary confirmed that they would close three railway crossings with Croatia on Sunday.
A Balkans expert reported to RT: “This sounds like a measure the EU should have implemented last year, when the migrant tide first surged. Now, it may be too little, too late.’
