The Slovenian army on Friday started removing a razor wire fence on the border with Croatia that was put up to curb migrant crossing after more than a million people fleeing violence or poverty entered Europe in a huge migration wave in 2015.
About a dozen soldiers used cutters to help unclog the wire that had got entangled in bushes and other greenery along the border, before loading the rolls into a truck. Officials have said that it could take some five months before the entire nearly 200-kilometer (140-mile) border fence — a combination of razor wire and metal panels — is taken down.
