Neither the Left nor Right in Croatia got enough votes to form their own government and a surge in a Centrist party will be the talk in Parliament. My friend there predicts the Centrists to join the Left in making a government.
How this will affect the refugee issue, we'll see. Any Croats here have an idea?
Okay so after all votes were counted, in the end the Croatian conservatives barely beat the leftist party by 3 seats. That's mean they'll need a coalition partner.
Slovenia has started building a fence and police are being deployed to keep watch over the area.
red crossed circle = fence
red circle = fence in the building
black dot line = fence planned
yellow line = border controls
blue line = border controls planned
grey line = refugge route
the mess that will start once slovenias fence is completely up ... romania and poland already preparing
What will happen to their route? They can't enter from Eastern Europe since Central Europe will start walling itself up and from Greece it only goes as far as Croatia + boats are being stopped in Italy (the ones that manage to reach a shore).
Croatia's Interior Minister has demanded an urgent meeting of EU interior ministers after Germany warned that it would start returning refugees to Croatia and Slovenia.
Austria announced Friday it would erect a 3.7-kilometre (2.3-mile) metal fence along its border with Slovenia, in a new blow to the EU's cherished open-border Schengen accord.
The barrier, due to be completed in less than six weeks, will be the first fence between two members of the passport-free zone, as Europe battles with a record influx of migrants and refugees.
Barbed wire would be stored in nearby containers ready to be rolled out along the border if the situation escalated, officials said.
Austrian Interior Minister Johanna Mikl-Leitner insisted the "fence conforms to the Schengen accord", adding it was part of temporary measures aimed at "channelling" the human flow.
Poland refuses to accept migrants EU countries re-evaluate policy on refugees
Poland will not take in refugees under a hotly contested EU program to distribute them among member states because of the Paris attacks, the country's incoming European affairs minister said on Saturday.
Denmark on Friday unveiled tough new measures to deter refugees from coming to the country, including police searches of asylum seekers' luggage for valuables and cash. Other measures included a three-year wait for some family reunification claims and a plan to house migrants in tents.
Another CIIS expert, Cui Hongjian, said the French will push their government to make adjustments in its migrant policy if it's proven that terrorists were among the refugees flooding into the country.
I can already see it: Largest ones join Central Europe in saying no, Balkans will have a trafficjam worse than before because there will be no immediate solution and everyone will stick to their opinion. Schengen is as good as gone now
it's almost like some countries esp eastern europe dont mind the paris attack so now they can use it for their interests and back up their opinions with it...
stupid bitch.
