Opponents of refugee quotas give money to bolster EU borders

The Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia have announced that they plan to spend around €35m to beef up European Union borders as they come under pressure for refusing to accept refugee quotas.

The countries - known as the Visegrad Four - have been criticised for failing to show solidarity with Greece and Italy, where tens of thousands of migrants have landed after crossing the Mediterranean or Aegean Seas.
