BRUSSELS (ANP) – Migration is Thursday’s main topic at the EU summit of government leaders in Brussels. Support for Ukraine and the situation in the Middle East are also on the agenda, but the 27 government leaders, including Prime Minister Dick Schoof, spend a large part of the day on a stricter migration policy. All EU member states want this, but opinions differ widely on how to achieve it.
BRUSSELS (ANP) – Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof reacts laconically to reports that Uganda has no interest at all in hosting asylum seekers for the European Union. “Well, we’ll see about that.

Because if you can’t do it together, it certainly won’t work,” he said after the EU summit with government leaders.
In the opinion of Slovenian Prime Minister Robert Golob, certain measures from the European Migration Pact must be implemented immediately.
