EC President Jean-Claude Juncker is expected to announce today quotas and compensation for the relocation of refugees across the European Union.
Brussels plans to relocate an additional 120,000 refugees. British Prime Minister David Cameron said his country would accept up to 20,000 refugees in the next five years.
In turn, French President Francois Hollande said his nation would welcome 24,000 over two years.
President Klaus Iohannis and Prime Minister Victor Ponta both said that Romania would not accept the mandatory refugee quotas set by the European Commission.
This country cannot take in more than 1,700 refugees in the following months, Ponta pointed out.
