Despite the European Commission's announcement requiring 22 out of 28 member countries to take in refugees, opposing countries: Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania and Denmark have stood firm in refusing to accept these numbers of migrants.
The Huffington Post reports European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker criticized these countries for driving away refugees instead of helping Europe deal with the on-going crisis.
"Pushing boats from piers, setting fire to refugee camps or turning a blind eye to poor and helpless people -- that is not Europe," said Junker on Wednesday. "The Europe I want to live in is illustrated by those who are helping. The Europe that I don't want to live in is one that is refusing those who are in need."
As Juncker announced, 22 out of the 28 EU members are required to follow the proposed quota system and accept migrants to spread out 160,000 people seeking for asylums in Europe.
Not all European nations, however, are willing to cooperate.
According to Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban, Junker's plan to welcome thousands of Muslim refugees is "mad" --- considering the threat of their religion taking over Europe.
"Is it not worrying in itself that European Christianity is now barely able to keep Europe Christian?" he wrote.
Orban also blamed Austria and Germany for making the scenario worse. "As long as Austria and Germany don't say clearly that they won't take in any more migrants, several million new immigrants will come to Europe," he told Austrian broadcaster ORF.
Hungary has built barbed wire fences along its border with Serbia and just recently imposed a criminal offence law for those who would attempt to cross.
For Czech Republic Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka, the nations' cooperation should only be voluntary, saying he is "convinced that Europe does not need new plans" to resolve the crisis.
Although Interior Minister Milan Chovanec said that Czech Republic is only willing to provide "financial, technological, human or material aid", the country has already detained some migrants with felt-tip penned numbers on their arms. According to a survey, 94% of Czechs believe that EU should deport all refugees.
"Migrants arriving in Europe do not want to stay in Slovakia," said Slovakia Prime Minister Robert Fico. "They don't have a base for their religion here, their relatives, they would run away anyway."
Unlike other European societies, Foreign Minister Miroslav Lajcak adds Slovakia has "no migration experience."
As for Romanian President Klaus Iohannis, Romania is only willing to accept a total of 1,785 refugees out of the 4,646 people proposed by Juncker.
Migrants are currently discouraged to enter Denmark, with the country strictly requiring foreigners to learn the language. Those granted with permanent residencies are also not allowed to bring their families over for one year, as imposed by the government in addition to slashing down refugee benefits to 50 percent.
While these countries continue to reject the proposed quota system, Western European countries are still struggling with thousands of refugees landing on their shores.
