BBC reported:
Crowds of migrants have scuffled with Croatian police in at least two places along the border with Serbia as they seek to enter the European Union.
They briefly broke through police lines at Tovarnik and Bezdan after hours waiting in full sun.
At least 9,200 migrants have entered Croatia since Hungary closed its border, officials said, blocking the previous land route into the EU.
Croatia’s interior minister says the country is “absolutely full”.
