Migrants trying to remove barbed wire along the Greek border got into a skirmish with Macedonian cops during a day of violence marked by tear gas, stun grenades and rubber bullets.
More than 100 migrants who engaged in running battles with Macedonian police as they tried to scale the razor-wire fence at the closed Idomeni crossing near a crowded tent city.
The violence – which produced no injuries — stopped a planned tour of the border fence by the visiting presidents of Croatia and Slovenia.
Greek riot police monitoring the stone-throwing migrants made no arrests and retreated during the tear-gas barrage.
Many of the tear gas canisters were neutralized by blankets and earth thrown over them by the protesters.
About 11,000 people have been living in the camp for weeks, since Macedonia closed its border to transient refugees and other migrants hoping to move north toward Europe’s prosperous heartland.
