European Council President Donald Tusk has called on EU member states and other countries not to ignore the causes of irregular migration. Speaking about the EU deal with Turkey to return migrants from Greece, he said that to end the crisis, all parties must consider and look for long-term solutions.

"The deal with Turkey is not perfect and we are fully aware of its risks and weaknesses. We did everything we could to ensure that the agreement respects human dignity but I'm conscious of the fact that everything depends on how it will be implemented. The deal with Turkey and closing the Western Balkans route raise doubts of unethical nature. I share some of these doubts too. They can only be dispelled by putting the solutions as they were agreed to every detail into practice," he said.
