    Quote Message

    If the link is established the refugee crisis will take on a new dimension. It can already be detected in Poland. The incoming Minister for European Affairs Konrad Szymanski said "we will accept refugees only if we have security guarantees". Under the scheme to re-locate refugees, Poland was to take 4,500. That now appears in doubt.

  16. Journey of 'Syrian passport holder' tracedpublished at 12:00

    A Serbian tabloid, Blic, has named the Paris attacks suspect believed to have passed through Serbia using a Syrian passport as Ahmed Almohammed, BBC Monitoring reports.

    The newspaper has also published what it says is an image of the passport, which has not been independently verified.

    Greek officials said on Saturday that a passport found at the site of one of the Stade de France explosions was used for refugee registration on the Greek island of Leros on October 3. 

    Serbian officials said on Sunday that the document had been used five days later to enter Serbia from Macedonia, at the town of Miratovac near Presevo.

    The passport appears to be a central focus of the investigation into the attacks but a great deal remains uncertain. French police have not verified as genuine any of the passports found in Paris and subsequently linked to the attackers, and we do not know at this stage whether the person who used the passport to enter the EU was the same person involved in the attacks.
