Macedonia has sent about 600 migrants who crossed the border on Monday back to Greece, a Macedonian police official said on Tuesday.
Most of the migrants were taken back to Greece on Monday or overnight on trucks, the official said.
Hundreds of migrants marched out of a Greek transit camp, hiked for hours along muddy paths and forded a rain-swollen river on Monday to get around a border fence and cross into Macedonia, where they were detained.
