Macedonia has imposed new restrictions on allowing refugees in, saying only refugees from cities that are at war can get into the country.

Greek police officials said on Sunday that Macedonia imposed the new limitation earlier in the day.

Under the new limitation, Syrians from the northern city of Aleppo can cross Greek border into Macedonia but people from Damascus or the Iraqi capital Baghdad are not defined as eligible refugees and cannot enter the Balkan state.
