The claim of U.S. President Donald Trump after a redemption of prisoners, European IS fighters by their home countries entering the EU on a lack of understanding. "Not as easy as you would imagine in America, it is (...) certainly," said the German foreign Minister Heiko Maas on Monday on the sidelines of a meeting with European counterpart in Brussels. That's why you will talk with the United States.

Trump had called on European countries such as Germany, France and the UK via Twitter to more than 800 in Syria prisoner IS fighters to withdraw, and to bring them to justice. If the allies did not react, had forced the United States to put the fighter on free foot. "The legal situation is such that German citizens have the right to re-entry," said Maas. However, you have "at the Moment, with little opportunity to verify in Syria, if in fact German nationals affected".

"release in no one's interest"

this Should be the case, it was necessary to examine the extent to which the people in the fighting of the IS involved. If so, would have the consequence that a criminal case against them should be initiated.

"These people can (...) only come to Germany if it is assured that you can be immediately taken into custody," said Maas.

you should make, however, a difference between the fighters and their children. "This is the difference we are discussing." The Hungarian foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said: "I think it is currently our main task is to keep the fighters out of Europe." The West should be kept to route the Balkans "as closed as it is at all possible".

The Luxembourg foreign Minister, Jean Asselborn, warned the United States of America in front of a complete break with Europe. In a partnership there can be no "command transmitter and command receiver," said Asselborn on Monday. "Otherwise, the partnership is broken." (nlu/sda)
