ZAGREB, Sept. 25 (Xinhua) -- Croatia reopened all border crossings to Serbia following reducing the pressure of refugees coming in from Serbia, Croatian Interior Minister Ranko Ostojic said on Friday.
There was a change in the refugee route, he said, adding 300 refugees had crossed the border to Hungary at Horgos.
The border crossings at Bajakovo and Tovarnik were reopened after it closed to all Serbian-registered vehicles from Thursday, he added.
However,Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic said on Friday evening that Serbia did not open a corridor for refugees towards Hungary.
Serbia launched countermeasures halting the entry of Croatian commodities early Thursday following Croatia banning cargo traffic from Serbia in the only open border crossing between the two neighbors at Bajakovo. In respond, Croatia restricted all vehicles with Serbian registration plates.
A total of 60,000 migrants have entered Croatia from Serbia since last week, after Hungary banned their entry by erecting a fence on its border with Serbia.
