Austria urges Macedonia to be ready to ‘completely’ halt migrant flow

Austria has urged Macedonia to stand ready to “completely stop” the migrant flow across its southern border from Greece. Vienna warned that it would follow the same suit within months."Most probably in the coming months our maximum number will be reached, so Austria will have to stop the migrants at its border," Austria’s foreign minister said during a visit to the Macedonian capital, Skopje. "Macedonia must be ready to completely stop the entry of migrants on its borders,"he said as cited by Reuters. Having received more than 90,000 migrants in 2015, Austria decided to cut the number of asylum seekers to 37,000 in 2016.
