Migrant Crisis: Balkan States Threaten Border Closures
Balkan countries at the front line of the migrant crisis say they could close their borders to avoid becoming buffer zones for new arrivals, BBC reports.
Bulgaria said that it, Romania and Serbia would act if states further north, which migrants hope to reach, close their doors. The threat comes ahead of talks between Balkan states and EU members.
The International Organization for Migration said that more than 9,000 migrants arrived in Greece every day last week - the highest rate so far this year.
