By Fatos Bytyci GEVGELIJA, Macedonia (Reuters) - More than 1,000 migrants and refugees are gathered in a dusty no-man's land between Greece and Macedonia, held back by Macedonian police overwhelmed by a dangerous crush at a nearby railway station for trains heading north to Serbia. Police periodically allow small groups through to join roughly another 1,000 at the once-sleepy Gevgelija railway station, unrecognisable since the surge in Middle Eastern, African and Asian migrants and refugees - many of them Syrians - trying to reach the European Union. At the station, families sleep in the open, before running and pressing to board the few trains leaving for Serbia, the last stop before Hungary and Europe's borderless Schengen zone.
