AlHijjah 05, 1436, September 19, 2015, SPA -- Croatia said on Saturday it had "forced" Hungary to take in thousands of migrants and would continue sending them to its northern neighbour, amid deepening discord and disarray in Europe over the biggest westwards migration in decades, Reuters reported. Over 20,000 migrants, many of them Syrian refugees, have streamed into Croatia since Hungary on Tuesday barred their route to the European Union through its southern border with Serbia with a metal fence, tear gas and water cannon. Complaining it could take no more, Croatian Prime Minister Zoran Milanovic on Friday said his country would give them food, water and medical attention, and then wave them off on their often perilous journey to western and northern Europe. Some 3,000 entered Hungary by bus and train on Friday. More were expected on Saturday, as dozens of buses on the Hungarian side of the border lined up in the village of Beremend. "We forced them, by sending people up there. And we'll keep doing it," Milanovic told reporters in the northeastern town of Beli Manastir, from where many of the buses and several trains left on Friday for the short trip to Hungary.
