Cerar urges shutting Balkan route to illegal migrants

Brussels, 7 March - It is absolutely urgent to shut down the Balkan route to illegal migrants, PM Miro Cerar said on arriving in Brussels for the emergency EU-Turkey summit on Monday. Once the Balkan route is effectively closed, Slovenia will be able to remove the razor-wire fence from its border with Croatia, he indicated.
