   Serbia and Macedonia have begun allowing migrant passage to only
   Syrians, Iraqis and Afghans, the United Nations refugee agency said on
   Thursday.

   A UNHCR spokeswoman said all other migrants were being turned back,
   leaving hundreds stranded on borders. A Reuters witness on the Greek
   border with Macedonia said Macedonian police had begun turning back all
   non-Syrians, Iraqis and Afghans overnight.

   "As of 6 p.m. (1600 GMT) yesterday evening Serbia started turning back
   (to Macedonia) all but Syrians, Iraqis and Afghans," said UNHCR
   spokeswoman Melita Sunjic.

   "Macedonia closed the border around 3 a.m and some 100 people remained
   stranded in no-man's land."
