| The rate of people arriving on to Greek islands is at its highest this year |
Balkan countries at the face
line of the refugee crisis say they could close their borders to keep away from
becoming buffer zones for new arrivals.
Bulgaria
said it, Romania and Serbia would take action if states further north, which
migrants expect to reach, close their doors.
The
threat comes in front of talks between Balkan states and EU members.
Slovenia's
president said his country would "act on its own before it is too
late" if no answer was reached.
Prime
Minister Miro Cerar had before refused to rule out building a barrier
along its border with Croatia.
The
International Organization for Migration said that more than 9,000
migrants arrived in Greece every day last week - the highest rate so far
this year.
Most
of the migrants - including many refugees from the conflicts in Syria, Iraq and
Afghanistan - want to reach Germany to claim asylum.
