Bucharest - Arab today
Romania's president says there is "no way" his country will accept the extra number of migrants the European Commission has proposed.
According to ABC news,Romania has been asked to accept 6,351 people. Leaders say that's too much after they initially agreed to accept some 1,785.
President Klaus Iohannis said Romania will send its interior minister to a special meeting Monday in Brussels to discuss the issue.
"I had a discussion with him today and his mandate is to declare that there is no way Romania will agree to the obligatory quotas."
Iohannis said the EU is seeking to distribute migrants in a bureaucratic way without consulting member states.
