Slovenian police deployed tear gas against migrants during a border standoff on Friday as southeastern Europe continued being flooded with refugees seeking to reach western European countries.
Slovenia became the latest country to greet the flow of migrants with a violent reaction. Migrants continued massing on the border with Slovenia, which is one of the few countries which allows entry to Austria after a series of border controls were enacted by countries bordering Hungary.
"If the pressure of refugees (on the borders) becomes too strong, Slovenia will certainly discuss…possible so-called corridors with all the countries that might be concerned," Slovenia's Prime Minister Miro Cerar said, as cited by AFP.
Slovenia also previously said that it would be willing to accept 10,000 migrants as refugees. Around 17,000 western Europe-bound migrants arrived in Slovenia's southern neighbor Croatia since Wednesday, according to the BBC.
