BERLIN — Germany warned Eastern European countries of serious consequences if they don’t drop their resistance to accepting more refugees, reflecting Berlin’s growing frustration at the unwillingness of its neighbors to help alleviate the crisis.
Speaking at a joint press conference Monday after agreeing to earmark an additional €6 billion to deal with the influx of asylum seekers, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel stressed that the rest of Europe, particularly countries in the east, needed to do more to stem the crisis instead of relying on countries like Germany, Austria and Sweden shoulder the burden.
“Eastern Europe enjoys the greatest economic advantage from open borders,” Gabriel said. “It is in Germany’s interest to maintain these open borders but everyone should be aware that if (the refugee burden) is concentrated on these three countries the debate will take another direction.”
Gabriel hinted that EU funding for countries could also be at risk if a solution to the refugee crisis wasn’t found soon. Merkel echoed his comments, adding: “What isn’t acceptable is that some maintain this situation has nothing to do with them.”
Berlin’s not-so-subtle threats of retribution suggest Germany is quickly losing patience with its European partners over their reluctance to play a bigger role in managing the crisis. While Germany estimates it will take in as many as 800,000 refugees this year, some countries in Eastern Europe have taken almost none and have rejected calls to do more.
