In these days, along all the ‘Bakan route’ borders (Macedonia, Serbia, Croatia and Slovenia), thousands of refugees desperately trying to reach Fortress Europe are facing new difficulties.Whilst mainstream media are all focusing on the terrorist alarm, from the 19th of November Macedonian borders are officially sealed off for all those who cannot prove to be Syrians, Afghans or Iraqi.
This decision is evidently violating Geneva Convention’s art.3 which explicitly establishes the principle of non-discrimination (‘The Contracting States shall apply the provisions of this Convention to refugees without discrimination as to race, religion or country of origin.’)
As the media show in the Balkan countries seems to be over, the Balkan governments that have been managing the border crossing for months have simply decided to draw a line between those ‘who have right of asylum’ and those who are arbitrarily defined as ‘economic migrants’ (an increasingly popular definition among European governments).
