Athens, February 25 (RHC)-- Greece warns any European Union deal on the refugee crisis must incorporate mandatory distributions of the refugees as ministers of the bloc meet to tighten regulations.
Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras told the parliament in Athens: “Greece will not agree to deals if a mandatory allocation of burdens and responsibilities among member countries is not secured.”
The Greek prime minister's comments came as EU interior ministers gathered to hold a meeting in Brussels on Thursday to hear plans by Austria and eight Balkan countries to fingerprint all refugees.
