AFP: Serbian Government Still Keeps Quiet on Fence near North Macedonia Border

Serbia’s government has declined to comment on the construction of a fence that was ongoing on Saturday near its border with North Macedonia, a common crossing point for migrants traversing the Balkan region, AFP reported on Saturday.

Radio Free Europe reported earlier that the barrier is being erected on the southern frontier, close to an official border crossing, and the Tabanovce transit camp for migrants on North Macedonia’s side. RFE also published images of the fence.

“Belgrade has, however, has remained silent, with the interior and foreign ministries, as well as the Prime Minister’s office, not responding to requests for comment”, AFP said.

When asked to comment, European Commission spokesperson Ana Pisonero-Hernandez noted that EU funding to help Serbia manage migration does “not include the construction of fences.”
