There are thousands today i migrants trying to cross the border between Serbia and Croatia after the closure of the borders decided by the Hungarian premier Viktor Orban. Tensions rise and the Croatian prime minister, Zoran Milanovic, announces that the country has "limited" capacity to accept and register militants. In the meantime, the major international dailies recount the ongoing clashes between the Croatian police and the refugees who broke through the police cordons at the Tovarnik station.
Europe today is trying to react to an increasingly worrying emergency. The European Parliament approved the Commission's proposal to relocate 120 refugees according to precise rules, while EU President Donald Tusk has convened an extraordinary summit of heads of state and government for 23 September in order to discuss a single Community strategy in the face of the divisions currently existing on quotas. “I summon a Extraordinary European Council for Wednesday, September 23 at 18pm to discuss how to deal with the refugee crisis, Tusk announced on Twitter, after Angela Merkel's request for an extraordinary meeting.
The Chancellor, on the sidelines of the Frankfurt Motor Show, invited i car manufacturers to hire refugees, earning the applause of the audience present. “We want to help those who have the right to protection, those who come only for economic reasons must leave the country. What we experience with refugees we must view with optimism. It is a prayer that I address to all of you – Merkel asked – if there are possibilities, give these people opportunities. I know you already do and you will. The conditions in Germany are positive – concluded the chancellor – and this allows us to face the new challenges.
