EU Migration Crisis -- October 26, 2015

Daily Mail: On the march to western Europe: Shocking pictures show thousands of determined men, women and children trudging across the Balkans as politicians warn EU could collapse in weeks

* Battling howling winds, driving rain and icy temperatures, thousands of migrants today marched into Slovenia
* Photographed from above, the refugees formed a single column as they crossed into the country from Croatia
* It comes as Slovenia's Prime Minister warns the EU will break up if leaders cannot agree on how to deal with crisis

Battling strong winds, driving rain, mud and freezing temperatures, these stunning photographs show a slow trek of thousands of migrants making their way to Europe amid the harsh conditions of the oncoming winter.

As one European leader warns the ever growing crisis will see the EU fall apart 'in weeks', tens of thousands of people are continuing to try and reach the Eurozone via the arduous Balkans route.

And as these pictures show, they are prepared to do so despite often overwhelmingly difficult conditions.

WNU Editor: As bad as the crisis is right now .... this is just the start. What is happening right now only tells me one thing .... 2016 will be the year when the EU will be faced with a migration many times larger and more desperate than what they are facing now. The political consequences will be profound and disastrous, starting with German Chancellor Merkel who opened the doors to this migration crisis, and her allies who supported her.
