Hungary
says it has taken steps to 'protect the freedoms' of European citizens
by closing the border with Croatia to economic migrants at midnight.
The
eleventh-hour closure means that thousands of migrants attempting to
rush over the 'green border' into Hungary at the last minute may now be
stranded in Croatia.
Experts
warn that those who didn't make it across will be stuck in a country
ill-equipped to deal with the massive influx of migrants from countries
in the Middle East, Africa and Asia.
Hungary
suddenly announce the closure today after EU leaders in Brussels failed
to agree on a plan to send EU forces to stop migrants from reaching Greece, backed by the eastern nation.
It
left little time for migrants to cross into the country on their way to
countries such as Germany, meaning many who have already made it this
far suddenly face crippling uncertainty.
