Washington Post: Asylum seekers confront rejection as Europe puts up roadblocks

BREGANA, Croatia — On a grim march through countries that do not want them, the tens of thousands of asylum seekers making their way across Europe again faced rejection Friday, as Croatia tried to funnel them into Hungary and Slovenian border guards barred entrance into their country.

It was the latest upheaval for the men, women and children fleeing war and poverty after their once-straightforward path to the havens of Germany and Sweden was choked off this week when Hungary closed its borders. For days, the refugees have been forced to improvise routes across the Balkans, using word of mouth, the kindness of strangers and instinct as borders opened, then rapidly closed.
