Croatia not taking in more than 500 people a day

Serbia has received an official notification from the Croatian police that Croatia and Slovenia will not be taking in more than 500 migrants a day as of Friday, Interior Minister Nebojsa Stefanovic said.

“Last night we received a notification from the Croatian police, which they had received from the Slovenian police, that Slovenia and Croatia will not be taking in more than 500 people a day,” he told TV Pink.

There are slightly fewer than 2,000 migrants in Serbia at this time and only a small number of them have requested asylum, he said.

“Even those who had requested asylum before did so to stay for a few days and get some rest to be able to move on,” he said, adding that the migrants’ goal is to reach Western European countries.

The key question is whether those countries want to take them in – if they do, “that is an answer we must get,” he said.
