The motorway Evzoni – Thessaloniki is now open and vehicles are moving freely. The hundred refugees this morning who blocked the road in protest, asked that borders be opened to continue their journey to Europe.
Soon after the police opened the road for vehicles and is now free to travel and to Thessaloniki and in the direction of Thessaloniki to Evzoni.
The refugees who are ‘accommodated’ at Idomeni and the reception centre in Kilkis yesterday began to block the motorway of the Macedonian-Greek border at Evzoni. Around 500 refugees blocked the vehicles in protest and with a request to be allowed to leave Greece, complaining of the poor living conditions in the migrant centers.

According to official figures from the Greek government, the number of refugees has decreased, and now the country has a total of 48,795 registered refugees, of whom 12,000 refugees are in Idomeni and approximately 4,000 are on the islands.

Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras this morning met with government council for migration and refugees to discuss the next steps on tackling the refugee crisis in the EU and Turkey.

Tsipras yesterday telephoned NATO Secretary General, Jens Stoltenberg. He expressed his concern and dissatisfaction that NATO patrols and controls together with the Turkish army on the maritime border have not delivered satisfactory results on the reduction of the wave of refugees coming into Greece on a daily basis.
