My country, Macedonia, is on Greece’s northern border and feeling the full force of the migrant crisis. We are facing innumerable illegal entries, the destruction of state and private property, the use of counterfeit passports and violence against security forces on the border – all of this by migrants intending to avoid registration and the verification of who actually has a right to asylum. Yet we are not in the European Union. The crisis is coming from the territory of Greece – a Schengen area state. So Macedonia has to defend Europe from the EU itself.
