Jean Asselborn, foreign minister of Luxembourg since 2004, told German press agency DPA that the core EU element of borderless travel, agreed in the Luxembourg city of Schengen in 1985, is under threat. "We have maybe only several months time left [to save it]," he said. "The European Union can break apart. That can happen incredibly fast, when isolation instead of solidarity, both inwards and outwards, becomes the rule." Asselborn is not the first European politician to warn of a break-up. Slovenian prime minister Miro Cerar said last month he believed the EU would "fall apart" if no solution is found to slow down the influx of refugees and migrants.
