Refugee quotas acceptable, walls not: Croatian PM

Croatian Prime Minister Zoran Milanovic said on Friday the idea of refugee allocation quotas was acceptable while building walls to stop immigrants was unacceptable.

He said he did not think it was unacceptable that the European Commission worked out the numbers for the reception of refugees, and the states accept them, according to Croatian News Agency Hina.

Commenting on Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's plan to build a wall on the border between Croatia and Hungary, Milanovic said migrants were not enemy. "I don't believe in fences and the wall won't help Hungary at all," Milanovic said.

Although he realized the migrants were not interested in Croatia, but Germany, Austria or Sweden, but Croatia could not hide or turn away from reality, he said. Enditem
