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.

However, the Slovenian police rule out refugees to be transported directly to other train stations of the country. Slovenia fears that Austria will introduce restrictions against refugees and will not let them in – the Croatian paper wrote.

According to the latest data of the Slovenian police, 89 789 immigrants were registered in the last twelve days, and 63 715 went to Austria.

2800 people stayed at the reception center in Brezice on Wednesday morning, and 4100 people stayed at the old and new camps in Dobova. They are registered and going to be sent to the transit centers close to the Austrian border and to other refugee camps operating in other parts of the country.
