Croatia discussing reopening border with Serbia: PM

Xinhua, September 25, 2015 Adjust font size:

Croatian Prime Minister Zoran Milanovic on Friday said his government was discussing reopening its border with Serbia and would "today or tomorrow" decide when to remove the restrictions.

"I talk to colleagues about it and we will make a decision," he said.

Croatia sealed off its borders for its "national security" and to control the influx of migrants, he said, accusing Serbia of organized transmission of refugees to the Croatian border.

"National security will always be placed ahead of profits of any company," he added.

Serbia launched countermeasures halting the entry of Croatian commodities early Thursday following Croatia banning cargo traffic from Serbia in the only open border crossing between the two neighbors.

Tens of thousands of migrants have entered Croatia from Serbia since last week, after Hungary banned their entry by erecting a fence on its border with Serbia. Endit
