A fight “over religious differences” in a German refugee camp

Authorities say three people were injured when the fight broke out over "religious differences" between two groups of people.

Dresden police said that about 100 people were involved in the fight on Saturday in the asylum centre in Niederau, an area near Dresden, according to the country's dpa news agency.

About 30 police officers helped break up the fight between an estimated 40 Afghans, and about 60 people of other nationalities. Police say an Afghan man was identified as the instigator. He was taken into custody after he was treated for injuries.

BALKANS SUMMIT

A "comprehensive solution" to Europe's migration crisis needs to be found at the summit of EU and Balkan nations, Serbia's prime minister said following the incident.

Aleksandar Vucic was speaking before travelling to Brussels on Sunday where he met with leaders of other countries struggling to cope with the tens of thousands of refugees arriving from the Middle East.

Vucic said he expected "hard, not very pleasant" talks but insisted Serbia was not afraid of its “responsibility," would not follow Hungary's example and will "not put up any walls." But, Vucic also suggested his country will not agree to be the only 'stop' for people migrating if countries further west close their borders.

Jean-Claude Juncker, president of the EU Commission, said after the summit that the Balkan states and Greece will increase their reception capacity to 100,000.

"Where national capacities fall short the EU civil protection mechanism [the states] should" provide more temporary shelter, affirmed Juncker.

In Greece alone, Juncker said that Athens promised the reception capacity will be increased to 30,000 by the end of the year, with the United Nations providing capacity for 20,000 more.

250,000 MIGRANTS HAVE PASSED THE BALKANS

Almost 250,000 migrants have passed through the Balkans since mid-September alone and the flow is not expected to stop as winter arrives.

Croatia says a record number of 11,500 migrants (the highest number in a single 24-hour period since migrants started coming to Croatia in mid-September.) have entered the country in one day, in another sign that the flow of people toward Western Europe is not abating.

People have turned to Croatia after Hungary erected a barbed-wire fence along its border with Serbia. They now mainly travel from Turkey to Greece and then go north to Macedonia and Serbia before entering Croatia and move on to Slovenia and Austria. Most are aiming to get to Germany or Scandinavia.
