Minister for Foreign Affairs Timo Soini believes that if the EU cannot agree on issues, member states will start limiting the number of asylum seekers, and Finland is no exception to this. Minister Soini told news agency STT that also Finland could set a daily limit to the number of asylum seekers arriving in the country in the future. According to him, Europe cannot withstand the current situation for long. So far, at least Austria, Slovenia and Croatia have set daily limits to asylum seekers.
