Two German reporters taken into custody by Greek forces near the Turkish border on Friday have been released.
The pair, who were working for German broadcaster ARD, was researching a story on refugees who use the Turkish border as a way to cross into the EU via Greece.
A local court in northern Greece freed the pair without charge after they claimed to have entered a military area by mistake.
The tension in the area has been high recently after two Greek soldiers were detained after entering Turkey by mistake, leading to a diplomatic crisis.
