AlHijjah 09, 1436, September 23, 2015, SPA -- EU leaders were gearing up Wednesday for migration talks that were expected to be hostile after a decision to push through a refugee relocation scheme despite the opposition of four member states, dpa reported. Europe is contending with its most significant influx of migrants and refugees since World War II with many people fleeing war-torn nations and qualifying for international protection. But the EU has struggled to find a convincing response to the crisis. The bloc's disunity was further stoked by a majority decision on Tuesday to push through a scheme to redistribute 120,000 asylum seekers throughout the bloc - overruling the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia - when the EU usually strives for consensus decisions. Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico said his country would not "respect this diktat" while his Czech counterpart, Bohuslav Sobotka, said the redistribution scheme would not work.
