KABUL: (MEP) Macedonia has closed its borders to afghan refugees, according to the reports, the Macedonian authorities are only allowing the Iraqi and Syrian migrants to cross the border.
Scores of Afghan refugees have been stranded along the Macedonia and Greece border after Macedonia closed its southern border with Greece to Afghan migrants on Sunday.
Macedonian police spokeswoman Natalija Spirova Kordikj told The Associated Press, “The Serbian side has stopped the entrance for Afghan refugees.”
Kordikj further added that there is no official explanation from the Serbian side for the move.
Hundreds of Afghans are leaving the country and are mainly heading towards Europe amid failing security situation in the country, often risking their lives by passing through dangerous routes, specifically the Iranian area and the Turkish coast.
Several Afghans have lost their lives while crossing the border through Iran and their boats capsized in the Turkish waters.
An Afghan photo journalist died along with his family members after his boat capsized in the Turkish coast recently.
