The vast majority of migrants crossing the Mediterranean arrive in Greece, which accounted for more than 70 per cent of all maritime arrivals this year. The number of migrants landing in Greece has recently risen sharply as many attempt to undergo the crossing before winter. Based on information from Hellenic Police stationed on high-traffic Greek islands, the International Organization for Migration believes roughly 60,000 migrants and refugees have arrived in Greece in September alone. read more

The concessions came shortly after an EU summit on the migrant crisis, suggesting that the 28-nation bloc had become alarmed at the lack of cooperation between neighboring governments and the increasingly ugly tone of their exchanges. read more

To stop the "flood of refugees", the EU considers to work together with the Turkish governement. Therefore the EU would like to move its obstacles for refugees to the south.
