Unity, including with Greece, needed to solve migrant crisis, says Tusk

On a visit to Prague on Tuesday, Donald Tusk said unity among European Union states was the only thing that could deliver a solution to the bloc’s migrant crisis. The European Council chief praised the Czech Republic for helping Macedonia to guard its borders. He added, however, that other states like Greece must also be helped to handle the influx of refugees. The Czech Republic and other Visegrad Four states have been promoting a “back-up plan” under which the outer border of the Schengen Zone could be moved from Greece to Macedonia and Bulgaria, if the former continues to be ineffective in stemming the flow of migrants.
