Refugees in Serbia reroute to Croatia

From Wednesday night more than 3,500 migrants were transported by buses towards the Croatian border crossings Bezdan and Sid, with the financial assistance of the UN’s worldwide Organization for Migrations. “They have the same obligations as Croatia to keep people under worldwide protection in their reception camps“. He suggested it will transfer them to the borders, primarily to the Hungarian border.

Serbian Prime Minister Aleksandar Vucic meanwhile condemned Hungary’s “brutal” and “non-European” treatment of migrants fleeing war-torn Syria and other Middle East countries.

Croatia’s foreign affairs minister Vesna Pusić warned Wednesday that the country is not equipped to handle a huge wave of refugees. Croatia on Friday closed all border crossings with Serbia except one in an effort to control the flow of migrants which has strained authorities.

“If we understand that there is a more systemic problem across the European Union , the Commission has the possibility to recommend specific introductions”, the official said. “I am sorry to see that Croatian humanity and solidarity lasted just two days”.

Despite the border closures, many continued entering Croatia through cornfields.

More than 200,000 people have already crossed into Hungary this year to enter the EU’s Schengen zone, which normally allows people to travel between member countries without restrictions.

Thousands of refugees in Serbia who are finding it increasingly hard to cross into Hungary may have a new alternative: Croatia. Migrants slept on streets, on train tracks and at a local gas station. “I think the extent that families are going to get to the next border shows you that’s what’s behind them is worse than what’s in front of them if they’re willing to continue to do this and continue to try”.

Hungary began constrution of a 41 kilometer- long fence on the Croatian border in a bid to stop refugees from illegally entering the country after their route shifted from the Serbian-Hungarian frontier, prime minister Viktor Orban said in an interview on MR1-Kossuth radio.

Slovenia, like Hungary, also appeared unwilling to take in the inflow. It says any asylum seekers will be accommodated in Slovenia and others turned back. Slovenian police have intercepted dozens of migrants who tried to cross through the forests overnight into the country from Croatia- and will be returned there.

“We are coming with our modest Islamic perspectives”, he added. So we come to here, to Croatia.

“They are the people who are fleeing the violence and persecution, we must ensure our compassionate leadership”.
