    The only action they've taken is in creating a migrant quota and threatening member states with legal action and expulsion when they refused:

    This is clearly tearing the EU apart.

    In an interview with Il Messagero newspaper, Mr Tajani said there would be an exodus "of biblical proportions that would be impossible to stop if we don't confront the problem now".

    Knowing the general levels of competence and the ability to reach agreement in the EU I would put the chances of them stopping this at close to zero.

    I understand the uncertainty of the Brexit outcome needs business decisions but they may be jumping out of the pan into a collapsing EU.

    EasyJet is to open a new European headquarters in Austria to enable it to continue to operate flights within the EU after Brexit.

    So they will be quacking in their boots after Brexit when Britain will insist on visas? Poor sods, that really blocks them from Eldorado
    ??? I used to have a high opinion of you but little you say makes any sense anymore. Look up reasoned argument in the dictionary. All you ever do these days is just quote stuff you've read then go into ArseGuru mode if anyone challenges it. Without the cretin stuff admittedly, give you credit for that.

    Serbia is on the accession list too:

    As more alcohol is consumed, the chances of an intoxicated aggressor targeting victims simply because they are foreigners increases. These incidents often escalate without warning. A number of these establishments are owned by Balkan organized crime elements and serve as social clubs and bases of operation for criminal gang members who carry out the day-to-day criminal activities of their respective clans.

    Serbia has a large contingent of extreme sport clubs that support professional sports teams. Members of teams’ fan groups are often between the ages of 15-25 and are commonly referred to locally as “football hooligans.” A number of fan clubs have very strong ties to criminal, right-wing, and ultra-nationalist organizations.

    Do they look like they will give us a less racist and tolerant society? Sooner see a big drop in our economy than have free movement with any of the accession countries.
