A visit by Italian members of the European Parliament last Saturday to the border between Croatia and Bosnia to check on living conditions of migrants at the refugee camps in Bihac "was nothing other than the umpteenth provocation against Croatian police" and "an attempt to discredit the reputation" of the country, said Croatian Interior Minister Davor Bozinovic on Monday. Croatia raised its tone and accused Italian members of the European Parliament from the Democratic Party (PD), part of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats (S&D) group, of "provocation", following the MEPs' visit last Saturday (January 30) to the border with Bosnia, where they were stopped for several hours. read more

The European Parliament is setting up its own review group to investigate, among other things, Frontex's involvement in illegal pushbacks by the Greek coast guard. That is according to the group's mandate, which is available to SPIEGEL. The working group, called the "Frontex Scrutiny Group," is to meet regularly from now on and report to the European Parliament's Interior Committee.

The management of the agency as a whole is also to be put to the test. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version) read more
