The overall number of the migrants who entered the European Union member from neighbouring Serbia during the past 10 days totalled 65,000, an interior ministry statement said.
The influx started after Hungary sealed its border with Serbia earlier this month.

Migrants stream into Croatia in bid to bypass Hungary...
ReplyDeleteCooperation replaced confrontation Saturday among European nations as thousands of asylum-seekers streamed into Croatia in hopes of creating a new future in Western Europe.
Despite steps that should eventually ease the chaos, the sheer number of people flooding into Croatia strained the resources of one of the European Union's poorest nations. At least 10,000 arrived on Friday alone, and Croatian authorities struggled to keep up with the influx of those fleeing war and poverty in the Middle East, Africa and Asia.
At one tiny border crossing point, Croatian police said thousands were abandoned at a remote crossing after Serb authorities bussed them to a point near the village of Strosinci and left.
Unclear where they were, the migrants tried to cross into Croatia, but got lost in the nearby cornfields. Croatian police found them, and called in buses to take the travelers to the nearby transit camp at Opatovac, but individual families were separated in the chaos.............france24.com
