Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said on Wednesday that Serbia will not be a parking lot for migrants, adding that the authorities will not allow anyone in if need be.

“If need be, no one will enter Serbia but we will decide that on our own and won’t demean those people. We will certainly not be a parking lot for migrants and 400,000 migrants will not be settled here, of course not,” Vucic said in a live appearance on the pro-government TV Pink morning show. 

Vucic said that Serbia will continue to show solidarity but will not allow anyone to endanger its citizens. He said that additional police forces have been sent to the town of Sid on the border with Croatia where the largest group of migrants is now.
