Slovenian PM: EU Will Collapse if Leaders Fail on Migrant Plan

The European Union faces collapse if the bloc cannot agree on a plan to confront the sudden influx of refugees through the Balkans, Slovenia's premier warned on Sunday as leaders bickered over who was to blame for the crisis.

Nine days after Hungary's move to seal its southern border drove unprecedented migrant flows into tiny Slovenia, Prime Minister Miro Cerar sent out a dramatic call to fellow central and eastern leaders in Brussels for emergency talks.

"If we don't find a solution today, if we don't do everything we can today, then it is the end of the European Union as such," Cerar said.
