Up to 300,000 refugees to come to Germany this year: migration office head
The head of Germany's Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) told a German newspaper that he expected a maximum of 300,000 refugees to arrive in Germany this year, Reuters writes.
“We're preparing for 250,000 to 300,000 refugees this year,” BAMF head Frank-Juergen Weise said.
Weise added that if more people were to come than estimated, his office would come under pressure but suggested he was not worried about such a scenario, saying it was instead likely that fewer than 300,000 would come this year.
