The refugee issue is a common, European problem, and not a problem of one country and therefore it is important to find common, European solutions, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said on Monday upon his arrival at the EU summit.

Unfortunately, there were agreements between the two summits that were not implemented from everyone, and this is a problem for Europe,” he said.

Mr. Tsipras also stressed that “We have principles and values in Europe and one of our fundamental principles is the allocation of responsibility as well as solidarity”.

He also stated that it is necessary to “significantly accelerate the process of relocation and have a credible relocation process”.
