Sweden will tighten rules for asylum seekers and no longer give permanent residency to all people granted refuge, Prime Minister Stefan Lofven said Tuesday, saying the Scandinavian country can no longer cope with "current levels." "It pains me to say that Sweden can no longer cope with receiving asylum seekers at the same high level," he said at a news conference. "More asylum seekers now have to seek refuge in other EU countries." The Migration Agency has forecast that between 140,000 and 190,000 people could apply for asylum this year, dpa reported. -- SPA 21:03 LOCAL TIME 18:03 GMT تغريد
