GEVGELIJA, Macedonia (Reuters) - Macedonia declared a state of emergency on its southern and northern borders on Thursday over a surge in migrants and refugees, saying it would involve the army in confronting a growing crisis, the MIA state news agency reported.
"We expect the involvement of the army will bring two desired effects - it will increase security among our citizens in the two regions and will allow for a more comprehensive approach toward people expressing their interest in applying for asylum," Interior Ministry spokesman Ivo Kotevski was quoted as saying.
