PM says Denmark 'ready to help' Greece stem refugee arrivals
Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has contacted the governments of Greece and Bulgaria to offer Danish assistance in preventing an uptick in migrant and refugee crossings from Turkey.
Denmark is also to offer one of its surveillance aircraft to the EU’s border control agency Frontex to assist in light of the changing circumstances around the Greek-Turkish border, Ritzau reports.
Turkey’s president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Saturday opened both the overland border and the sea route between Turkey and the EU. That includes borders with both Greece and Bulgaria.
The PM said she was concerned about a potential increase in refugee and migrant arrivals in the EU as a result of the Turkish decision.
“There’s no doubt that Greece and Bulgaria face a big job in protecting Europe’s outer border,” she said.
