The country said it would involve the army in confronting the crisis. Interior Ministry spokesman Ivo Kotevski stated that the uthorities may have moved to seal off illegal routes used by the migrants and refugees. Thousands of migrants were stranded on Thursday in a ‘no-man’s land’ between Macedonia and Greece, near the Macedonian town of Gevgelija.

We remember, in the latest International Military Review, SouthFront reported that IDF has been exercising preparations for a ground invasion into Syria.
