FYROM could soon be erecting a fence at its southern border with Greece to curb rising immigration to the country.
FYROM Foreign Minister Nikola Poposki told Hungarian weekly Figyelo that his country is considering the “physical defence” option for the border, which could include a fence, soldiers or both.
The country has become a stepping stone for thousands of migrants and refugees seeking to reach Hungary, a Schengen Area signee. Reuters cited a United Nations refugee official who claimed that between 6 pm Wednesday and 6 pm on Thursday 7,600 migrants and refugees entered FYROM from Greece.
Hungary will soon complete the construction of a 175 kilometre long and 3.5 metre high fence on its border with Serbia.
