Q-start

Hungary has erected a barbed-wire barrier along 41 kilometres of its border with Croatia in order to try and stem a flow of refugees and migrants, a defence ministry spokesman said on Saturday.

"The fence was finished overnight Friday," Attila Kovacs told AFP. The Drava River, which is difficult to cross, cuts through the remaining 330 kilometres of the border between Hungary and Croatia.

The move comes less than a week after Hungary closed its border with Serbia, sending tens of thousands of refugees and migrants into neighbouring Croatia, from where they have sought alternative routes into Europe. More than 20,000 have now entered in just three days, Croatian authorities said. Initial estimates said that that number could be expected within the first two weeks.

Turkey police block new refugee march to Greek

After being blocked for a week at Istanbul's main bus station, 700 mostly Syrian refugees set out on 250km journey by foot before being stopped. A new march by migrants and refugees trying to reach Europe overland from Turkey was blocked by police outside Istanbul on Monday. Around 700 mostly Syrian men, women and children from a group that had been blocked for the past week at Istanbul's main bus station set out overnight on foot for the northwestern city of Edirne, 250 km away. After spending the night camped on the hard shoulder of the motorway, some of the migrants and refugees, who carried bags over their shoulders, managed to clamber aboard buses or private vehicles. But a few hundred continued to walk along the emergency lane, in the midst of snarling morning traffic, before being brought to a halt by police about 50 km from Istanbul, an AFP photographer witnessed.

Main route blocked, take the alternative route.

The Balkan mine trap awaiting refugees

The changing route of migration in the Balkans is putting refugees at risk of coming increasingly close to mine fields scattered throughout the region.
Mine fields, left over from the Yugoslav Wars in the 1990s, litter not only the Croatia–Serbia border, but parts of southern Serbia and much of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Overall around 750 square kilometres are still suspected to be filled with unexploded ordinance in the ex-Yugoslavia – some 50,000 in Croatia and up to 120,000 in Bosnia, according to the Bosnia and Herzegovina Mine Action Centre. The issue first attracted international attention on Wednesday when scores of refugees began to enter Croatia from Serbia for the first time, but the refugee influx to the EU over recent months had already prompted emergency mine clearance work in Serbia and Bosnia.

Poland can take in more refugees than EU quota but on voluntary basis

Poland will be able to take in more refugees than the 9,000 earmarked under the European Union quota plan but said that it wants the 28 member bloc to seal its borders. "Poland is able to take in more refugees on a voluntary basis than those stipulated by the compulsory quotas proposed by the European Commission [earlier this month]," Foreign Minister Grzegorz Schetyna wrote in an opinion piece in the Gazeta Wyborcza daily. "But for this to happen, comprehensive and effective changes must be made by the European Union and its member states on organising political asylum and migration," Wyborcza added in the editorial also published by several other European news outlets. He did not specify a number that Poland would take in but the eastern EU member has so far agreed to accept only 2,000 refugees as Europe struggles to cope with its worst migration crisis since World War II.
