Reuters: East European states to help stop migrants from leaving Greece

The leaders of Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and the Czech Republic -- known as the Visegrad Group within the European Union -- could announce the move when they meet their Macedonian counterpart at a summit in Prague on Monday, diplomats said.
