BERLIN, Muharram 26, 1437, November 08, 2015, SPA -- Germany needs to be tougher in the refugee crisis and do more to help secure Europe's external borders, European Council President Donald Tusk said ahead of a meeting with Chancellor Angela Merkel on Sunday, Reuters reported. While Tusk praised Germany's leadership role as the most liberal and tolerant in European history, he urged Berlin to do more to get the current situation under control. "Leadership responsibility also means securing Europe's external borders together with other member states," Tusk told Die Welt am Sonntag newspaper. "I understand why due to historical reasons, Germany may have difficulty setting up a strict regime on its borders. But for Germany, European leadership responsibility also means controlling Europe's external borders if necessary energetically in a pan-European unit." --SPA 11:58 LOCAL TIME 08:58 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
