PM Oreskovic in Bruxelles: We agreed a joint framework, over the next 10 day we will have concrete agreement

EU leaders have reached the outlines for a possible deal with Turkey regarding managing the migrant crisis and entrusted European Council President Donald Tusk to negotiate details with Ankara so as to define a more concrete agreement, Croatian PM Tihomir Oreskovic said after a meeting in Brussels which ended early on Tuesday morning.

"Turkey has proposed a concrete plan. Today we agreed a joint framework and we gave a possibility to President Tusk to negotiate with Turkey over the next ten days and we hope that by then we will be able to put more concrete things down in writing," Oreskovic said after the meeting at which Turkey’s Prime Minister, Ahmet Davutoglu, outlined Turkey's proposals.
 
A draft declaration from the meeting reads that the western Balkan route has been closed now. PM Oreskovic said that the migrant flow along that route "has, in principle, stopped."
