EU should reach common agreement on migrant crisis soon: Croatian minister

Xinhua, February 25, 2016 Adjust font size:

The EU has to reach on a common agreement on the migrant crisis soon, even as Croatia is taking part in joint efforts in profiling and transiting refugees on the Macedonian-Greek border, Croatian Interior Minister Vlaho Orepic said on Wednesday.

Orepic, who attended a ministerial conference on the migrant crisis in Vienna, said Croatia had sufficient capacity to accommodate migrants but is willing to try to increase capacities, Croatian News Agency Hina reported.

The Vienna conference was a "step forward" towards a final agreement within the EU, he said, adding he hoped a meeting of interior and justice ministers in Brussels on Thursday would result in a more concrete agreement. Endit
