IDOMENI, Greece, Nov 28 (Reuters) - Police in Macedonia fired tear gas and stun grenades at desperate migrants stranded for days at the Greek border and who are demanding passage to western Europe, as soldiers began erecting a metal fence to keep them out. Macedonia, along with other Balkan countries on the migrant route, began turning away "economic migrants" nearly two weeks ago.
