Interior Minister Aleš Hojs highlighted on the sidelines of an EU ministerial on the proposed migration pact a “very, very problematic grey zone” related to Slovenia’s border with Croatia, the external Schengen border but not also the EU’s external border.
It is not clear if Slovenia will still be able to return migrants to Croatia, he said. If Slovenia found itself without the possibility of returning these migrants to Croatia, it would need to process all of them in Slovenia. “You can imagine that this would mean a rope around Slovenia’s neck,” Hojs said at the online press conference with Slovenian correspondents in Brussels.
