BRUSSELS, Oct 22 - Lithuania's President Gitanas Nauseda said on Friday the EU needed to swiftly overhaul its asylum laws and erect a fence to defend itself in the short-term from Belarus, which he said was "weaponising" migration and pushing people into bloc. "We also should talk about a physical fence of physical border, which is extremely needed as a short-term measure," Nauseda said on arrival for a second days of talks among the bloc's 27 national leaders, long divided over how to handle migration.
"Because nobody knows what will happen tomorrow. Maybe there will be three, four, five thousand migrants staying at the border at the same time or trying to cross the border in different places... We have to be decisive."Our Standards:Subscribe for our daily curated newsletter to receive the latest exclusive Reuters coverage delivered to your inbox.
