Thousands
of migrants and refugees have been stranded near Athens and on Greece's
northern border after Macedonia stopped allowing Afghans in.
Macedonia said on Sunday it was following
other governments by allowing in only Syrians and Iraqis. Greece protested
against the decision. After Syrians, Afghans made up the second largest number
of people seeking asylum in the EU in 2015, according to official figures.
The Macedonian move came three days after
Austria imposed a daily limit of 80 asylum claims on its southern border.
Although EU officials said the Austrian limit was incompatible with human
rights conventions, Balkan states along the migrant route from Greece responded
by implementing their own restrictions.
