欧盟领导人星期一会见土耳其领导人，讨论如何减缓移民涌入欧洲的势头。目前有数以千计的移民仍滞留在希腊和马其顿边界地区。
星期一在布鲁塞尔召开紧急会议之前，欧盟的外交官们表示，即将宣布一项关于关闭巴尔干地区移民通道的欧盟协议草案。
马其顿以北各国已经关闭了边界，阻止主要来自叙利亚、阿富汗和伊拉克的移民前往德国和斯堪迪纳维亚国家。
2015年年初以来，已有将近100万人渡海抵达希腊。面对这种局面，欧洲领导人希望说服土耳其阻止移民采用危险通道，同时重新接纳被欧盟国家拒绝提供庇护的移民。
土耳其收容大量难民，光是来自叙利亚的就有270多万人。土耳其因此承受着为难民提供服务的巨大负担。
European Union leaders meet with their Turkish counterparts Monday to discuss efforts to slow the flow of migrants traveling to Europe as thousands of people remained stranded at the Greece-Macedonia border.
EU diplomats said ahead of Monday’s emergency meeting in Brussels that a draft EU agreement was set to declare the closure of the Balkan migration route.
Countries from Macedonia on north have shut their borders, preventing people mainly from Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq from traveling on toward Germany and Scandinavian nations.
The influx of nearly 1 million people arriving by sea in Greece since the beginning of 2015 has European leaders looking to persuade Turkey to both keep migrants from taking the dangerous route and also take back thousands who don’t qualify for EU asylum.
Turkey is hosting more than 2.7 million refugees from Syria alone, and has struggled with the burden of providing services.
