CRI听力:Sweden Calls for EU Countries to Cooperate Closely in Dealing with Refugee Crisis

Ygeman has said that the only solution for the European refugee crisis is to form a solidarity on this issue.

"The biggest question is if those countries are willing to contribute to better the situation. I think that is the key question Europe faces now in terms of a union. I practices, are we able to uphold the other's borders? Are we going to make the reality of those decisions of resettlement, "

Sweden has received the highest number of refugee seekers per person in Europe - 163 thousand. Of those, about 60 to 80 thousand refugees will be deported if they are declined refugee status.

There have recently been several violent attacks - one was a 15 year old boy stabbed a 22 year old worker in an immigration center near Gothenburg. The other was masked men who tried to attack immigrants but who was foiled by the police.

Ygeman said because they received so many asylum seekers, it is natural to have some problems, but that wouldn't stop Sweden from receiving refugees from Syria.

"EU is facing a challenge and EU has to show its capacity to solve those problems. Otherwise I think it will be a tough time for the European Union. We have to have a legal ways to enter the union, so you don't have to face the death in the Mediterranean. We have to have a border control in Greece and Italy and bordering countries. We have to have a resettlement plan, and all those measures can help solve this crisis. "

Ygeman said Sweden has debated refugee issues, and those who are deported should leave of their own free will.
