By Fatos Bytyci GEVGELIJA, Macedonia (Reuters) - Macedonia declared a state of emergency and called out the army on Thursday to confront a surge in migrants and refugees trying to reach western Europe, leaving several thousand stranded in no-man's land. A Reuters reporter in the town of Gevgelija on Macedonia's southern border with Greece said the flow of migrants and refugees - which has hit 1,500-2,000 per day - to the local railway station appeared to have suddenly stopped.
