EU court advised to reject Hungary, Slovakia refugee case

An adviser to the European Court of Justice says it should dismiss lawsuits filed by Hungary and Slovakia challenging a European Council decision that the countries have to take in hundreds of asylum seekers.

Hungary, Slovakia, Poland and Romania had voted against the 2015 decision establishing a temporary plan to relocate 120,000 migrants. Under the plan, Hungary would have to temporarily take in 1,294 asylum seekers and Slovakia, 902.
