Croatia, overwhelmed with 17,089 arrivals in three days, began sending migrants to Hungary and closed Serbia crossings. Slovenia halted rail, while Hungary built another razor wire fence, highlighting a lack of coordinated EU response.

Court won’t order Meigs County charter on ballot
An appeals court refused to compel Meigs County Commissioners to certify a proposed Meigs County charter for the November ballot. The Meigs Home Rule Committee argued the July 2 letter implied validity, but the court said the letter must expressly state the petition was valid.
