We recognise the challenge faced by Croatia in dealing with increased migrant flows. However, we are also concerned about the treatment of migrants at the Croatian border. The UK is committed to the principle that asylum seekers, whilst subject to immigration processes of other countries or awaiting the outcome of an asylum application, are entitled to decent, humane and fair treatment. The UK Government regularly engages in dialogue with the EU and international partners on a variety of issues related to the need to address irregular migration and the challenges it presents.
