BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — The latest news as tens of thousands of people slip into Europe and head to wealthy European Union countries in search of a better life. German Chancellor Angela Merkel says her country's forces in Afghanistan will do more to train local security agencies to deal with human trafficking and other issues related to people fleeing to seek asylum elsewhere. Chancellor Angela Merkel says Germany wants to support the creation of safe areas inside Afghanistan to provide "people who live in places of insecurity with a zone where their security is guaranteed." Slovakia's prime minister, Robert Fico, says his government has filed a complaint to challenge a European Union decision to redistribute 120,000 asylum-seekers among the bloc's 28 nations. Mouzalas says: It's true that our country has come under intense pressure from some European Union member countries who mistakenly believe that the refugee flow can be controlled from Greece. The door is in Turkey. [...] if the flows are not controlled in Turkey, from the coast of Turkey, it is impossible to control the flows from Greece or any other European Union member. Hungary's prime minister says he believe a secret pact led by Germany to bring up to 500,000 Syrians from Turkey directly into the European Union to be revealed soon.
