Migrants protest at the Macedonian border

About 1,000 persons regarded as economic migrants from the Macedonian authorities in Skopje, organized a protest in the Greek-Macedonian border.

Gevgelija protests in the border area, come after Macedonian officials have begun to refuse the entry of migrants who are not from Syria, Iraq, or Afghanistan.

Most of the protesters are migrants from Iran, Libya, Morocco, Somalia and Bangladesh.

Standing behind barbed wire along the border, many of the migrants have told Radio Free Europe, they have been waiting in the border area for days, in order to pass from Macedonia to the European Union.


Skopje has imposed restrictions such as Serbia and Croatia have announced that they will turn back migrants who are not from Syria, Iraq, or Afghanistan.
