People wait in line for documents at the refugee processing center in Presevo, Serbia, Aug. 27, 2015. Countries like Greece, Macedonia and Serbia recognized that few if any of the migrants wanted to stay there, because the economic prospects in those countries were poor. So they came up with a system that gave the refugees the legal right to pass through the country, without necessarily applying for asylum. (Sergey Ponomarev/The New York Times)
