Czech police contingent leaves for Macedonia

A contingent of 40 Czech police left Monday to help Macedonian authorities safeguard their border with Greece. The latest group is the fifth contingent of Czech police sent to the Balkans country since the start of the immigration crisis. Czech police will conduct joint patrols with their Macedonian counterparts. Czech police have also been to help during the crisis in Greece, Slovenia, and Hungary. Although the crisis in Macedonia has eased since its peak, hundreds of immigrants are still seeking to pass through the country.
