The Latest: Restless Migrants in Croatia Wait to Move On
Migrants are packed at the station in blazing sun and heat on Thursday waiting to board trains to the refugee centers in the capital Zagreb and elsewhere in Croatia.
More than 2,000 migrants have gathered at the train station in the eastern Croatian town of Tovarnik waiting to move after crossing in from Serbia hours ago.

Associated Press reporters at the scene say migrants have become restless, demanding to move on. Croatian authorities have been distributing food and water as they cope with the migrant wave entering the country over the Serbian border.

More than 6,000 people have entered the country in just one day, putting strain on the system. Migrants have turned to Croatia after Hungary used water cannons, pepper spray and tear gas to keep them away from its territory.
