The foreign minister of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) on Monday said his country does not wish to close its borders with Greece in order to stop refugee and migrant flows but will “do whatever is necessary” to resolve the crisis if EU countries to the north impose more stringent controls.
FYROM FM Nikola Poposki said the Skopje government was coordinating its actions in step with action taken by EU countries, such as the decision to distinguish between third country nationals attempting to enter as migrants and war refugees last November, or recent requirements that a refugee’s destination country be listed in documents. The country’s authorities have recorded 41,227 refugee arrivals from Greece since the start of the year.
