Latvia rejects UN migrant pact
By EUobserver
Latvia has become the latest in a series of EU states to reject a non-binding United Nations pact on migration. Austria, Bulgaria, Hungary, the Czech Republic, and Poland have also refused to sign the agreement. Belgium's parliament on Thursday voted in favour, although the government is bitterly divided over the issue. The UN agreement, which has been two years in the making, imposes no obligations.
