Croatia found itself dragged into the migrant crisis on Wednesday as migrants crossed into Serbia’s western neighbour after Hungary locked down its frontier. A Reuters cameraman saw at least 100 migrants walk through cornfields into EU member Croatia, most having arrived by bus from Serbia’s southern border with Macedonia to the western town of Sid on the Croatian border.
Serbian media reported that at least 10 migrant buses had left for Sid from the southern Serbian town of Presevo, where several thousand enter every day from Macedonia, streaming north across the Balkan peninsula. A journalist on the Croatian side of the border saw the first group of migrants rounded up by Croatian police and taken away to be registered.
