"Closing of borders could renew conflicts in Balkans"

Czech Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka has said that the closure of borders to refugees "could easily renew old bloody conflicts in the Balkans."

In an interview for Czech weekly Respekt Sobotka said the refugee wave would "spill over in the Balkans" adding he thought the closing of borders of some Balkan countries was "not the right path, because it can be associated with strong conflicts."
