Eight European Union member states have come together to issue a joint declaration urging a re-evaluation of the situation in Syria to facilitate the voluntary return of Syrian refugees to their homeland. The countries involved in this initiative are Austria, the Czech Republic, Cyprus, Denmark, Greece, Italy, Malta, and Poland.
During a summit meeting in Nicosia, Cyprus, officials from these nations highlighted the need for more effective ways to handle Syrian refugees attempting to reach European Union countries. They acknowledged that while the situation in Syria has evolved, complete political stability has not yet been achieved.
