Austria is preparing to send troops to other European countries to prevent illegal refugees and migrants from entering Europe, in an obvious show of no confidence in the European Union's efforts to protect their borders. 15 Countries will form a 'Balkan frontier' in an effort to close the western Balkan route.

Do you think that they will analyze how come the majority of them are civil servants Chris had some good points.
