Croatian PM condemns Hungary and gives free passage to refugees across Croatia

Croatian Prime Minister Zoran Milanović has said that Croatia will allow the refugees free passage across Croatian territory regardless of their religion or colour of their skin.

Milanović has condemned the actions of Hungary in building a razor wire fence against the refugees. "I believe that the policy of Budapest is harmful and dangerous.

Wire fences in Europe in the 21st century provide no answers. They just constitute a threat," he said.
