64 Bangladeshi nationals detained in North Macedonia
Police found in North Macedonia mention 64 Bangladeshi migrants have already been within a truck on a good highway close to the country’s border with Greece, reports AP.
The driver evaded arrest during the inspection late Mon near Strumica in the country’s southeast.
In a statement Tuesday, police gave no other information regarding the migrants.
The migrants were detained and used in a holding site in border town of Gevgelija, pending deportation to Greece.
The so-called Balkan migration route, mostly running right through former Yugoslav republics, has been closed since 2015 and Greek border with North Macedonia was closed earlier this season as a result of COVID-19 pandemic. But police say trafficking networks remain mixed up in border area.
