The Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) has heightened its border protection, so that tons of migrants trying to enter from Greece can't.

The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Evangelos Venizelos refused to participate in a meeting of the coalition of countries battling the Islamic State, with the Greek government represented instead by its Permanent NATO Representative, Ambassador Diamesis.

During this year's ceremonial wreath placing for Australia's fallen soldiers, the nation's Remembrance Day ceremony suffered a mishap, when the commentator mistakenly declared "Macedonia" when referring to FYROM, via a loudspeaker.
