The lifting of the coronavirus linked restrictions across the region will again re-active the migrant smuggling routes in the Balkans, especially through Mount Belasica, in the direction of Camp Muries in Greece to North Macedonia, said Interim Interior Minister Nake Culev.
“With the onset of Covid-19 there was a dramatic reduction in the number of illegal migrants. But we are now witnessing that migrant smugglers are again surfacing, and there is some illegal migration noticeable at the Gevgelija railway line, but also on mount Belasica. It is due to the good weather we are having, said Minister Culev.
