President of the European Commission Jean Claude Juncker on Sunday twited he had spoken to Romanian President Klaus Iohannis and to other European leaders ‘to prepare Monday’s extraordinary Council of Interior Ministers’ on migration in Brussels.
According to the Romania’s Presidency, Klaus Iohannis expressed solidarity regarding the immigrants’ crisis, pointing out that Romania is part of the European programs for supporting the refugees, such as Frontex program. On the other hand, the quoted source said that the Romanian president reiterated the previous position on the refugees, meaning that Romania is rejecting voluntary migrant quotas.
EC President had also voiced concern earlier on Sunday about the future of Europe’s open border system in a call with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, after a report that Berlin might reimpose frontier controls temporarily.
“I just spoke with Chancellor Merkel. We agree to keep borders open between EU-MS (member states), we need more Europe and solidarity in managing refugee crisis,” the EU chief executive tweeted, referring to his efforts, in conjunction with Germany, to promote an EU-wide distribution of asylum-seekers.
