Hollande, Merkel to talk migrant crisis Monday
French and German leaders will meet in Berlin on Monday to give a new push to European efforts to tackle the biggest migrant crisis in 50 years, a source in the French presidency says.
Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Francois Hollande will strive to provide a fresh impetus to the EU’s response in dealing with the rapidly worsening situation, a source in Hollande’s office says.
They will also discuss the Ukraine crisis along with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, according to the Elysee source.
The diplomatic push comes as Europe grapples with an unprecedented influx of migrants fleeing war and unrest in what the EU describes as its worst refugee crisis since World War II.
