“A refugee has no right to say I want to get asylum in a certain country of the European Union,” Ms. Merkel said after a meeting with Croatia’s Prime Minister Tihomir Orešković.

European Council President Donald Tusk.


“Today we are opening a new chapter in our struggle to cope with migration crisis called ‘Back to Schengen’,” Mr. Tusk said in Vienna.

If you ever make it to a western University you will find almost every subject starts with a little history and it 9 times out of 10 it has its roots in Ancient Greece. Yes although Pythagoras is known for his theorem, there was a probably a peasant in India drawing triangles on sand but since they never left any written work the Greeks get all the credit
