The government in Zagreb has announced that it cannot and will not accept thousands more migrants, being unable to register or shelter them. They will be given temporary help, said Prime Minister Zoran Milanovic, and channelled towards Hungary. Croatia is not a "migrant hotspot", he said, but a country with a head as well as a heart. On Friday, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban announced that building had begun on the new 41-kilometre frontier barrier between the two countries. Some 600 soldiers are engaged in the task, their number expected to rise to 1,800 by Sunday. The EU posted the latest figures on Friday: 213,000 applications for asylum between April and June, up 85 percent on the same period in 2014. Germany's Foreign Minister Frank Walter Steinmeier has warned the Eastern bloc countries, who are opposed to mandatory migrant quotas, that a majority decision might have to be imposed. The latest tragedy at sea took place off the coast of Cesme, in Turkey's western Smyrna province. The coastguard managed to save the other 14 Syrian migrants, including eight children, who were aboard the overturned boat. The death of the Syrian electrocuted in the Channel Tunnel brings the number of migrants who have died attempting to reach the UK from France to 10. Meanwhile the Libyan coastguard has arrested 124 migrants, including eight women, about to embark for Europe from Gasr Qarabulli, once the Italian colony known as Castelverde, 70 miles east of Tripoli and one of the most popular departure points for Libyan people smugglers. The mass capture was made on the basis of so-called 'information' - probably a tip-off. Two Syrian citizens have been arrested in Eindhoven, Southern Holland, accused of organising a covert network enabling several hundred Syrians to enter Community territory illegally. (AGI)
