The flow of migrants and refugees through the Balkens to western Europe has continued throughout the weekend. Austria says it's expecting 20, 000 arrivals, most of them through Hungary and Croatia, but some also from Slovinia.The EU leaders remain divided over who should bear the burden, as Johny Dimond now reports.

Late on Sunday, Poland's prime minsiter announced that the country would accept only a symbolic¹⁸ number of migrants. That kind of talk riles Germany, the richest and biggest European nation which has accepted many, but clearly feels that some burden sharing is appropriate.

本周末，难民潮继续从巴尔干前往西欧各国。奥地利方面称，奥地利或将迎来2万名难民，绝大多数来自匈牙利和克罗地亚，但是还有一些来自斯洛文尼亚。就谁应该承担重则，欧盟领导人之间仍存在分歧，请听约翰尼·戴蒙德的报道。对于难民来说，前往欧洲的道路依然危险重重，然而，由于欧洲东南部的许多国家已经允许难民迅速向德国和瑞典所在的西部和北部地区转移，因此上周发生的骚乱事件也得到了平息，德国也是最受难民欢迎的国家。波兰首相称，波兰仅仅会象征性的接受一定量的难民。而这一言论也惹怒了德国，作为欧洲面积最大，最富有的国家，德国已经接受了大量难民，德国方面认为各国应该平均分配难民。
