MOSCOW, August 20 (Sputnik) — On Wednesday, Slovak Interior Ministry spokesman Ivan Metik said Slovakia would admit 200 Syrian asylum seekers, on condition that they were all Christians, as, he said, Muslims would not be able to integrate into the country.
Jagland stressed that such blatant discrimination of refugees on the grounds of their religious beliefs needs to end.

Europe is experiencing a massive migration crisis, as thousands of people attempt to cross the Mediterranean Sea, fleeing violence in their home countries in the Middle East and North Africa.
In late July, EU member states agreed to redistribute some 55,000 asylum seekers throughout the union in an attempt to resolve the migrant crisis.
