Serbia: Hundreds of refugees cross border into Croatia

Thousands of refugees and migrants crossed from Serbia into Croatia on Sunday, near the Serbian town of Berkasovo, Sunday. A camp run by volunteers and NGOs provided refugees with first aid, clothes, food, and hot drinks as they prepared for the crossing into the Croatian town of Bapske, before continuing their journey onwards to Western Europe. Tensions have eased at the border crossing, which had previously witnessed clashes and scuffles between refugees and police, after authorities re-organised on the ground. The heads of 11 EU states along the migrant trail are in Brussels on Sunday to discuss the refugee crisis, as thousands of migrants continue to risk the arduous journey to Europe from the Middle East and Africa every week.
