Croatia will fight illegal migrations and a difference must be made between Afghan nationals who had been helping EU services in their country and refugees who are the responsibility of the international community, Croatian Foreign Minister Gordan Grlic-Radman said in Budapest on Wednesday.

“People who had been helping (us) within the European External Action Service (EEAS) and our soldiers in NATO, to whom we have a certain obligation, are one thing, and another thing are refugees who are burdening the entire international community,” Grlic-Radman said after meeting with his Hungarian counterpart Peter Szijjarto.

The two ministers talked, among other things, about the crisis in Afghanistan and migrations.

“We want to see refugees get relocated to Afghanistan’s neighbouring countries where their human rights and safety will be secured,” Grlic-Radman said.

“Croatia will most definitely fight illegal migrations. We do not want 2015 to happen again,” the Croatian Minister said.

The EEAS has called on EU members to take in EU staff from Afghanistan, namely approximately 500 locals, mostly interpreters, logistics providers and their families.

Croatia will accept 20 people. Hungary, for now, will not accept anyone.
