Greece and Italy denied on Friday an article claiming that they had accepted resettling some Latin American migrants on their territory, Reuters reported on Friday.

They were referencing a report by CBS News, which on Thursday said the program would see the European countries receive a small number of people to deter migrants from making the journey up north. The migrants targeted would be nationals from four Latin American countries (Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador and Guatemala) where U.S. authorities have set up safe mobility offices to process asylum requests, the report added.
