FYROM closes borders to "illegal" migrants

FYROM [*] has closed its borders completely to illegal migrants after Slovenia, Croatia and Serbia announced tight new restrictions on migrant entry, a police official said.

Thousands of migrants have built up on the Greek side of the FYROM [*] border.

FYROM [*] had been allowing small numbers of Syrians and Iraqis through but stopped this after its neighbours tightened up their policies.

According to the FYROM [*] Interior Ministry, no migrants or refugees entered from Greece yesterday.

Slovenia, Croatia and Serbia said yesterday they would place new restrictions on the entry of migrants.

Around 1,000 migrants and refugees remain stranded in a refugee camp on the FYROM [*] side of the Serbian border while more than 400 are stranded in "No Man's Land" between Serbia and FYROM [*].

They refuse to go back to FYROM [*] and are not being allowed to cross in to Serbia...
