Croatian Prime Minister Zoran Milanovic said on Saturday he would not assume any obligations for Croatia in the EU summit on refugee crisis, due on Sunday in Brussels, because the prepared draft was entirely unrealistic.

According to the draft the countries on the so-called Balkan migratory route would no longer be allowed to transport refugees to neighboring borders without prior agreement with their neighbors, he said, adding that he believed the draft would not be adopted.

He reiterated that Croatia would not become a hotspot.

He expected the European Union to resolve the issue at the border between Turkey and Greece, Croatian News Agency Hina reported.

It is the only realistic solution to stop the refugee wave at the Greece-Turkey border, he said, adding "anything else is a waste of time."
