Greek authorities plan to set up a system of loudspeakers around the makeshift migrant camp that was set up on the border with Macedonia, near the main Gevgelija crossing.
The goal is to keep the estimated 10,000 migrants there informed about the border remaining closed, and to avoid a repeat of the tragic incident when NGO activists fooled several thousand migrants into trying to cross the border through a river, which led to three Afghans being drowned.
Similar attempts were reported over the weekend, with activists again trying to fool the migrants into trying to push through the border fence protected by Macedonian security forces, or to engage in a mass attempt to bypass the fence.
"The people who live under pressure and in difficult conditions receive false information. When you are desperate, rumors spread like wildfire", Giorgos Kiritsis, spokesman for the Greek Office for Migration Policy Coordination, said.
The border has been closed for weeks, but people in the camp near the village of Idomeni remain hopeful that the border will eventually be reopened, and want to be at the top of the line if it does.
Meanwhile, the improvised camp has turned into a poorly run improvised settlement, where children live in cold tents amid mud puddles.
Greece has over 50,000 migrants stranded on its territory as the border closed.
The closure eventually led to sea crossings from Turkey to the Greek Aegean islands, with new arrivals counted in mere hundreds per day, as opposed to the thousands that arrived before.
