It got brought up today via a short piece on ARD (Channel One of German public TV).....Albania's Prime Minister in an interview.....just flat out said 'no', there would not be some EU refugee center operating in Albania.
It was a fairly direct comment and I won't go into long details over it.
So the search is on....the EU wants some place where a camp could be set up and 'problem-people' could be sent while waiting on their home-country to accept them.
I have my doubts that any place within the EU will be found. The Greeks might eventually to offer 'something', with an enormous price-tag attached to it (maybe 5-billion Euro a year in cash is my humble guess).
Would the EU pay it? It's awful hard to say their willingness factor on the amount of money it might cost.
The thing is that the Greeks have literally dozens of islands sitting out there.....some small in nature, and I could see a four-by-two kilometer island being staged for 10,000 people to sit and wait for their 'walking papers'. The pro-asylum folks won't accept that type of situation though, and this will all be just idle chit-chat.
