Migrant crisis: Croatia closes border crossings with Serbia
18 September 2015 Europe
Croatia has closed seven of its eight road border crossings with Serbia following a huge influx of migrants.
Officials in Zagreb said they had no choice after more than 10,000 people entered the country a day after Hungary fenced off its border with Serbia.
Meanwhile, Slovenia said it had stopped a group of migrants on a train and would return them to Croatia.
Huge numbers of people heading north from the Mediterranean have created a political crisis in the European Union.
Croatian officials said roads leading to the border crossings had also been shut.
