Balkan leaders will gather under an emergent meeting in Brussels this Sunday.
Most of refused asylum seekers come from Western Balkan. The German Parliament passed a law in which Albania, Kosovo, Serbia and Macedonia should be included in the list of “safe countries”, the citizens of who are not qualified for asylum.
But this meeting also aims to stop the escalation of the refugee crisis, which has generated tension in the region. Borders in Slovenia and Hungary have been closed, without receiving any direction from the competent authorities.
The Slovenian Prime Minister appealed the Union for financial support, for more staff and materials. Miro Cerar appealed for more cooperation, saying that the proportion of refugees is not right. While Germany is continuing with their ambitious policies, talking about quotas for keeping refugees coming from the Middle East. Berlin is also discussing a new tax for these policies throughout the EU.
The cause of refugees, led by Angela Merkel, was presented with indignation by her to the governments of Eastern and Central Europe, who keep opposing refugees. Merkel appealed for more solidarity.
