Following nearly ten hours of tense deliberation, the leaders of the 28 European Union member states have reached an agreement on the migration issue.
“EU28 leaders have agreed on (summit) conclusions, including on migration,” the European Council president Donald Tusk said.
Earlier in the day, Italy’s prime minister Giuseppe Conte had refused to approve an EU summit statement on the issue of migration. Italy, which has been at the frontline of the struggle to cope with the influx of refugees, demanded that EU states share the burden of handling migrants that come into that country via the Mediterranean.
