The EU has begun a crucial summit on the migrant crisis, but a rift has already emerged on the closure of the main route through the Balkans.
A draft communique had revealed the EU was about to declare the route "now closed", but the German government rejected this as "speculation".
Turkey is also attending the summit, which is tackling Europe's worst refugee crisis since World War Two.
The EU will press Turkey to take back migrants in return for $3.3bn in aid.

What Turkey wants
◾More than the €3bn ($3.3bn; £2.3bn) pledged by the EU. It says it has already spent €8bn
◾Full visa-free travel access for all of its citizens to the EU's visa-free Schengen zone
◾Accelerated talks on EU membership
◾Talks on the EU resettling some refugees based in Turkey

Turkey in the EU? Another great reason to get out.
