The German Interior Ministry said it had reached an agreement with Greece on Friday that will see it send back certain asylum seekers.
German Interior Ministry spokeswoman Eleonore Peterman said the German-Greek compromise will allow Germany to take back all asylum-seekers who initially applied in Greece but ultimately moved to Germany by passing through the German-Austrian border.
It remains unclear what Greece will receive in return. However, in a similar deal with Spain, Berlin pledged to curb the number of migrants crossing the Mediterranean.
