- Last night we received a notification from the Croatian police, which they had received from the Slovenian police, that Slovenia and Croatia will not be taking in more than 500 people a day - he told TV Pink.

There are slightly fewer than 2,000 migrants in Serbia at this time and only a small number of them have requested asylum, he said

- Even those who had requested asylum before will stay for a few days and get some rest to be able to move on - he said, adding that the migrants' goal is to reach Western European countries.

The key question is whether those countries want to take them in - if they do, that is an answer we must get - he said.
