VIENNA, September 10 (Sputnik) — The daily cited local police as saying that between midnight and 3 a.m. local time (22:00 to 01:00 GMT) over 1,700 people arrived at the Nickelsdorf border crossing, in Austria's easternmost state of Burgenland.
"We do not know for how many [more refugees] we have to prepare ourselves," Deputy National Police Director, Christian Stella, was quoted as saying.
According to European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker, some 500,000 people have arrived in Europe since the beginning of 2015, many from conflict-torn Syria and Libya.
Earlier this week, European Commission (EC) spokesman Alexander Winterstein said that the EC would allocate 5 million euros ($5.6 million) to Austria, to help the country deal with asylum, migration and refugee integration.
