Finland's prime minister, Juha Sipila, said on Saturday he would offer his own home to asylum seekers.

The home in Kempele, northern Finland, could house asylum seekers from the start of the year, Sipila told national broadcaster YLE, while calling all Finns to show solidarity with refugees heading to Europe to flee war and poverty.

Sipila is usually based in the capital Helsinki.

He said an EU plan to redistribute 120,000 asylum seekers arriving in Greece, Italy and Hungary should be voluntary and hoped Finland could show an example in this regard.

 Migrants heading into Austria shows EU's failure: Hungary

 The transport of unregistered asylum seekers from Hungary to the Austrian border shows the failure of the EU's migration policy, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said on Saturday.

After days of confrontation and chaos, Hungary's right-wing government has deployed dozens of buses to move on migrants from the capital, Budapest, to Austria.

"What happened is the consequence of the failed migration policy of the European Union and the irresponsible statements made by European politicians," Szijjarto said on arrival to a meeting of EU foreign ministers to discuss the migration crisis.

Slovak Foreign Minister Miroslav Lajcak dismissed plans to set up a train corridor to Germany for migrants. "We have never discussed a corridor in the Slovak government," he told reporters ahead of the foreign affairs meeting.
