Hungary's interior minister says his country is closing down three railway border crossings with neighboring Croatia to block any possible entry of migrants.
Sandor Pinter said Friday that the crossings will be closed because Croatian authorities have sent a train full of migrants toward Hungary under police escort.
Tens of thousands of migrants crossed over to Hungary from Croatia last year before Hungary built a razor wire fence and decided to close down its borders for migrants in October, diverting the flow to Slovenia.
Austria's interior minister is signaling that her country could further reduce its newly introduced cap on the number of asylum seekers entering the country.
Vienna's decision to allow no more than 80 people a day to apply for asylum at its southern border points starting Friday is the latest in a series of uncoordinated and unilateral measures by individual nations as the European Union has struggled to find common answers to the influx of migrants.
The Austria Press Agency quoted Interior Minister Johanna Mikl-Leitner as saying Friday: "We will subsequently have to reduce the daily upper limits further."
Officials said leaders at Thursday's talks argued over conflicting national reactions to the migrant influx, and the potential collapse of Europe's border-free travel.
