Croatia sets up refugee centre to ease crisis
Authorities in Croatia have set up a refugee reception centre in the eastern Croatian village of Opatovac, hoping to inject order into the unrelenting chaos that has gripped the country overwhelmed by thousands seeking sanctuary in Europe.
Croatian authorities said that some 27,000 people fleeing conflict and poverty in the Middle East, Africa and Asia had entered the country since Hungary shut its border with Serbia on September 15.
