(AFP) The first refugees arrived near the Croatian frontier on Wednesday, potentially carving out a new route through Europe after Hungary sealed its borders.

The group of 30-40 mostly Syrian or Afghan refugees arrived at the Serbian border town of Sid early in the morning. They had travelled by bus from the Macedonian border at Presevo, 500 kilometres to the south.
