Slovenia is the latest European Union member to have closed its border to migrants. The Slovenian government said restrictions 1 came into effect from midnight local time. The Interior Ministry 2 said that entry would be considered only for migrants wishing to claim asylum 3 or those with clear humanitarian 4 needs. In response to Slovenia's announcement, its southern neighbor Serbia, which is not an EU member, imposed similar restrictions. This report from Bethany Bell. Slovenia's prime minister Miro Cera said the Balkan route for migrants were shutting down. He said all countries along the route including Greece and with the cooperation with Turkey would now turn back all irregular migrants. Slovenia, which is a member of the EU, has been used as a transit 5 country for migrants trying to reach Germany and Northern Europe. The Greek prime minister Alexis Tsipras has said the EU's deal with Turkey will help stop what he called the 'unbearable 6 flow of people trying to reach Europe'. Greece is the main entry point for migrants and under the deal Turkey will take back those arriving illegally on Greek islands. Mr Tsipras said Europe could not accept large numbers of people from countries not at war. He wanted potential migrants to think again. I'd like to stress that the implementation 8 of the readmission agreement sent a clear message to migrants coming from third countries. It would give the following messages to those who are coming from western African countries. There is neither the political will nor the ability to cross the Europe with the measures we'll taking.
最新的欧盟成员斯洛文尼亚已关闭其边境。斯洛文尼亚政府表示,边境限制从当地午夜时间开始生效。内政部称只考虑让寻求避难以及有明确人道主义需求的移民进入。之后,尽管塞尔维亚非欧盟成员,也采取了类似的措施。请听吧贝瑟尼·贝尔的报道。斯洛文尼亚总理米罗·塞拉表示,巴尔干移民路线已经关闭,所有这条路线的国际,其中包括希腊以及土耳其都会谴回所有不合法的移民。斯洛文尼亚为欧盟成员,移民一直以来通过斯洛文尼亚到达德国和北欧。希腊总理亚历克斯·齐普拉斯称欧盟对土耳其的采取的办法会帮助阻止“到达欧洲不可遏制的移民浪潮。”希腊是移民的主要切入点,土耳其将会将非法移民送回希腊。齐普拉斯称欧洲不会接受非战争国家的大批移民。他希望潜在的移民重新考虑。我想要强调,实施重新接纳协议为来自第三个国家的移民发出了一个明确的信息。它会给那些来自于这些西非国家的民众。既没有政治意愿,也没有能力跨越欧洲。

The Bloomberg News Agency says the Zimbabwean finance ministry has issued a briefing paper stating that the farmers will receive funds to cover land and equipment losses.
