欧洲理事会主席图斯克星期四和星期五访问希腊和土耳其,讨论欧洲面临的移民危机。

图斯克要争取在欧盟与土耳其商讨移民问题之前缓解欧盟成员国间的紧张关系。欧盟与土耳其定于下星期一在布鲁塞尔举行会议。

图斯克预计星期四在雅典与希腊官员会谈,星期五在伊斯坦布尔会见土耳其总统埃尔多安。

目前土耳其、希腊以及其他巴尔干半岛国家正在应对从中东和北非涌入的大量移民,他们希望取道这些国家前往德国和其他富有国家。在移民危机出现之前,希腊已经处于财政困境,因此要求欧盟提供5亿多美元来帮助希腊支付处理难民问题的开支。

土耳其外交部发言人说,土耳其已经提议与14个国家签署重新准入协议,以使安卡拉尽快重新接收被欧盟成员国拒绝接纳的移民。  

European Council President Donald Tusk visits Greece and Turkey Thursday and Friday to discuss the migrant crisis at its front lines.

Tusk is aiming to ease tensions among European Union members before a meeting with Turkey on the migration issue. The meeting is scheduled for Monday in Brussels.

Tusk is expected to hold talks with Greek officials in Athens Thursday, followed on Friday by a meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Istanbul.

Turkey, Greece, and other Balkan nations are dealing with an overload of migrants from the Middle East and northern Africa who want to pass through on their way west, to Germany and other wealthier nations. Greece, which was already in a tight financial situation before the migrant crisis began, has asked for more than $500 million from the European Union to help it handle expenses.
 
Turkey has offered to sign readmission agreements with 14 countries, which would enable Ankara to quickly take back migrants rejected by the EU, a foreign ministry spokesman said.
