Migrants crisis: Mogherini appeals for unity as EU ministers meet at odds
- 9 years ago
Austria has called on the European Union to “open its eyes” to the migration crisis, saying recent events had exposed the situation as a “shambles”.
The comments from the country’s foreign minister came as he and his EU counterparts held an informal meeting in Luxembourg, at odds especially over proposals for states to accept quotas of asylum seekers.
The bloc’s foreign policy chief says there is agreement over plans to destroy smugglers’ ships in the Med.
But amid little unity on the wider issue Federica Mogherini made an appeal.
“We have to strengthen even more our cooperation and work together without any kind of blame game among us Europeans – member states, candidate countries, institutions,” said the EU’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs.
