SID, Serbia (Reuters) - Migrants continued to stream into Croatia from Serbia on Friday, walking through fields around one of seven road border crossings that Zagreb closed after an influx of some 11,000 people in two days, a Reuters reporter said.

Croatia late on Thursday announced it had shut almost all road crossings from Serbia, saying it could not take in any more migrants. But the flow continued unabated on Friday morning as migrants arrived by bus in the Serbian border town of Sid and walked through cornfields to cross the border, joining huge crowds controlled by Croatian police.
