Slovakia has promised to take some of Malta’s irregular migrants, Foreign Miroslav Lajcak told his Maltese counterpart Tonio Borg at the end of a meeting.

Mr Lajcak told Dr Borg that Slovakia would initially take part in the pilot project being held under the umbrella of the Immigration Pact but it was willing to continue sharing the burden even once this project was concluded.

Immigrants have already been taken by France, Germany, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Ireland, Portugal and the United States.
