He also noted that the European Commission has proposed to these countries any kind of support: “I visited every country and I promised to offer any kind of support, economical, technical of infrastructure” adding that nobody can accuse the EU of not helping find a solution.

Mr. Avramopoulos also explained that the mass refugee flows have not stopped warning of increased refugee flows in the coming months.
