Slovenia can also build fence

According to index.hu, Slovenia can immediately start the construction of a fence along the Croatian border, if the government considers it necessary, but it hopes the influx of refugees will slow down as a result of the European Union measures – Prime Minister Miro Cerar said after the Wednesday’s meeting of the Slovenian National Security Council.

Cerar added his country still wary of the fence building, “because we are against the Europe of walls”, but the Slovenian government “is ready to defend its nationals, the law and order”, if the EU policy was failed.

The Wednesday’s meeting of the council was convened by Prime Minister Miro Cerar, but Foreign Minister Karl Erjavac had already referred the plans related to the strengthening of the borders on Tuesday.

Since Tuesday afternoon, 3500 refugees have been transported by the Croatian authorities from Tovarnik, Eastern Slavonia to Dobova, a Slovenian settlement near the Croatian border. The Slovenian authorities register the immigrants in the trains. Police chiefs of the two countries agreed on the new humanitarian corridor – Croatian newspaper Vecernij List wrote on Wednesday. The first train arrived with 1100 refugees from Tovarnik to Dobova on Tuesday afternoon, then another train arrived, and two other in the morning. The Slovenian police confirmed the communication is much better with the Croatian colleagues than it was before and they said the new system is consulted and works well, index.hu wrote.
