Police said in a statement the arrests took place late Thursday near the southern town of Negorci when they responded to reports of a large group of people on the move. Seven of the Pakistanis, believed to be the organizers of the group’s illegal entry into North Macedonia from neighboring Greece, were arrested and criminal charges were filed against them. It was the first large group of migrants crossing into North Macedonia in recent months. The migrants were being sheltered in a reception center in the border town of Gevgelija pending deportation back to Greece.
