Croatia will apply an army against refugees

On the eve, during the talks with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Croatian Prime Minister Tihomir Oreshkovich announced that the army and the police of Croatia will defend their borders. At the same time, Croatia will have to amend the law on the army.

As is known, forced migrants first arrive in Greece and then through the Balkan countries try to get to Central Europe. In September 2015, a sad record was set - almost 10 thousand migrants arrived to the territory of Croatia at a time. The Balkan countries were forced to begin to tighten the rules for crossing the border. In particular, in February, the Slovenian Parliament approved the use of the army to protect borders from refugees.

Now on the borders of Croatia, Slovenia and Macedonia, there is a quota that restricts the number of migrants to 580 people a day. Therefore, on the Greek-Macedonian border, thousands of people await permission to move further along the "Balkan route". Earlier this week, the patience-losing refugees broke the barrage with a self-made battering ram and the police had to disperse the offenders with tear gas.

Croatian Prime Minister Oreshkovich during the talks on Tuesday, promised to solve the migration crisis in Europe. Angela Merkel after the talks recalled that the EU countries should decide on the placement of migrants who managed to get to Greece.
