Vienna, August 28 (RHC)-- German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Thursday attended a summit with leaders from the Western Balkans about the migration crisis.

Meanwhile, less than 30 miles away, residents held a vigil to commemorate the deaths of more than 70 people who apparently suffocated in a truck earlier this week while attempting to reach Northern European countries. 

One of the organizers of the vigal called for people to receive safe passage throughout Europe.  Dagmar Schindler told participants: "Building up our borders or fighting even more against people smuggling cannot be the solution.  We need safe passages for these people.  These people have nothing to lose. Their choice is between taking the chance and coming to Europe or dying at home."
