Greece estimates that more than 25,000 migrants are presently on its territory, with more than half stuck at the makeshift camp Idomeni, on the border with Macedonia.

The agreement has practically closed the so-called Western Balkans route from Greece into Macedonia, Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, Austria and then Germany.
