Belgrade refugees seen making a break for the Hungarian border
BELGRADE - Several hundred refugees set off from central Belgrade on Tuesday morning, heading in the direction of the Hungarian border, Reuters witnesses said.
The large crowd of people were seen walking northwards along the city's Sava river, stopping occasionally to negotiate with police.
Some 7,000 migrants, most fleeing war and poverty in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan and elsewhere, are trapped in Serbia, prevented from continuing further into Europe by fences now running the length of the Hungarian-Serbian border.
