From the Greek-Macedonian border, Mersiha Smailovich tells SIR that “there are lots of policemen and army troops” along the line that separates the two countries, but in her opinion “the police are not to blame for what happened; they carry out orders, a policeman too was injured”. “The truth is that Europe cannot find a humane, people-oriented solution to the refugee crisis”, states the operator of Legis, who thinks “Macedonia has been left to fend for itself against these people, who are rightly protesting and are not even going to Skopje, which could not offer them a future”. After Austria and the countries along the “Balkan route” agreed to let in no more than 580 people a day and only those coming from Syria and Iraq, Macedonia left just a few people through, just 300 last weekend. In the meantime, according to Greek authorities, “in the Hellenic country there are already 22 thousand migrants, who could grow to 70 thousand in the next few weeks”. On its part, Skopje’s government kept building a new fencing, one and a half metres high, in the refugee camp as far as the border passes. “People must be let through – Smailovic asks – without quotas, restrictions or limits on numbers and nationality”.
