VIENNA, Dhu-AlQa'dah 27, 1436, Sep 11, 2015, SPA -- Denmark said it won't accept any of the 160,000 refugees that the European Union wants to relocate to other countries from Italy, Greece and Hungary, AP reported. Like Britain and Ireland, Denmark is not legally bound to take part in EU plans to spread refugees more evenly across the bloc and Integration Minister Inger Stoejberg on Friday made clear that Denmark has no intention of joining voluntarily. Stoejberg told reporters that "we won't be part of the distribution of the 160,000 asylum-seekers" and that Denmark already is receiving a large number of asylum-seekers. Almost 15,000 people applied for asylum in Denmark last year. Neighboring Sweden, whose population is nearly twice as large, took in more than 80,000. --SPA 14:28 LOCAL TIME 11:28 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
