Brussels, Muharram 13, 1437, October 26, 2015, SPA -- Eleven EU and Balkan leaders have agreed to refrain from "unilateral" decisions in the migration crisis that would negatively affect others, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker says, according to dpa. "Leaders meeting today all committed first of all to sharing information about flows, and second of all to refrain from taking unilateral decisions whose effects are inevitably borne by others," Juncker says after hosting the leaders' meeting in Brussels. The countries will also work on providing better shelter for asylum seekers, with 50,000 refugee-reception places to be created in Greece with the help of the UN refugee agency UNHCR and another 50,000 along the western Balkans route. Junckers says the only way to restore order to the situation is to slow down the uncontrolled flows of people, adding that the policy of waving through people to neighbouring countries has to stop. --SPA 03:39 LOCAL TIME 00:39 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
