Stockholm/Berlin, Dhu-AlQa'dah 24, 1436, Sep 8, 2015, SPA -- The leaders of Germany and Sweden on Tuesday renewed their calls for mandatory refugee quotas for EU countries, as frustrated migrants in Budapest thronged trains bound for Western Europe. The crisis will not be solved "tomorrow, or next week, but as soon as possible," dpa quoted German Chancellor Angela Merkel as saying in Berlin after meeting with Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lofven. "One should not deal in threats," Merkel said when asked at a press conference if pressure should be put on countries opposing the introduction of a quota system. Lofven said the two countries "have not shut their eyes" to plight of refugees, most of them coming from war-torn countries, and stressed the need for the bloc to establish an orderly and unified system. --SPA 18:57 LOCAL TIME 15:57 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
