Croatia lifts blockade at part of border with Serbia

Croatia has announced that it has lifted a blockade of its border with Serbia.

Refugees can now pass freely, without restriction, into Serbia.

The two nations have been deeply divided on how to deal with the refugee crisis over the last week.

The blockade between the two nations has cost millions of dollars to construct.

Earlier, the United Nations warned the daily flow of around 8,000 people heading to Europe from Syria and Iraq was likely to continue for months.
