THESSALONIKI, Greece (AP) — Moves by Macedonia and Serbia have led to a buildup of migrants waiting at the Greek side of the border. Greek police say 800 were stranded at the border today and another 2,750 were waiting in 55 buses nearby. Macedonia has closed its southern border with Greece, but only to Afghan migrants. Iraqis and Syrians can still cross. Macedonia says that's because Serbia has barred Afghans as well.
