Refugee influx decreases as about 5,000 refugees pass through Croatia daily

Author: Vojo Micak
OPATOVAC, Sept 30 (Hina) - Although the influx of refugees arriving in Croatia has decreased in recent days, about 5,000 still pass through the country on a daily basis, Interior Minister Ranko Ostojic told a press conference at the Opatovac refugee reception centre in eastern Croatia, near the border with Serbia.
At the moment, refugees are coming to Croatia at Bapska and are staying at Opatovac and nowhere else in the country, except for a family who are now in Cepin because their child is in hospital there, Ostojic said, adding that the security situation in the country regarding the refugee crisis is stable.

Ostojic said that the decrease in the number of arriving refugees was partly due to the fact that registration of refugees had begun on the Macedonian-Serbian border.

He said that he had invited EU Commissioner for Migration Dimitris Avramopoulos to visit Croatia and that the commissioner was expected to visit on October 5 and 6. "It's certainly good that, in addition to the information he receives from me by telephone, he sees it for himself what the situation on the ground is like."

Ostojic reiterated that a solution to the refugee crisis lay in keeping the refugees in refugee camps in Greece and increasing financial aid to Turkey, Jordan and Lebanon, which have taken in the largest numbers of refugees. He stressed that Croatia "is ready to accept its quota of people who would be relocated."
