The German interior minister stressed that the country would not need to introduce any unilateral measures if a common European solution was found.
Seehofer, being Christian Social Union (CSU) leader, denied reports of any ultimatum given by his party to Merkel.
"Nonsense! There is no ultimatum. The chancellor asked the parliamentary faction of the Union to give her two weeks… The chancellor has set a deadline for herself," he said.
In an excerpt from an interview to the newspaper published Thursday, Seehofer stressed that he had the full support of his party.
"If the Chancellor's office is dissatisfied with the work of Interior Minister, then they should break up the coalition," Seehofer told the newspaper.
The CSU leader also noted that firing "a minister because they worry and care about the security and order of their country, that would be the first time in the world that was done."
Merkel said earlier this week that CDU supports "an additional general plan on migration policy," but does not want to act unilaterally and against the interests of third countries.
