Migrant crisis could be `biggest challenge` in EU history: Germany

Prague: The unprecedented influx of refugees and migrants flooding into the European Union could be the bloc`s greatest-ever challenge, Germany`s foreign minister said Friday at Prague crisis talks with eastern EU members refusing migrant quotas.

Europe`s largest refugee crisis since the end of World War II could be "the biggest challenge for the EU in its history," said Frank-Walter Steinmeier, calling for solidarity as Berlin "expects 40,000 new migrants from the south at the weekend."
