Incorrect. The reason they are being let into Europe is because they are in fact being recognised as refugees, not economic migrants. The countries in between, like Turkey and Hungary don't want them. That's why they're stuck in camps. In addition, the situation is complicated by the various treaties and tax arrangements within Europe and the EU, and the fact the refugees want to reach greener pastures.
In essence, the EU is behaving a bit like a very large country, instead of a group of smaller countries loosely cooperating with each other. This scares the shit out of countries like Russia, as it is solid evidence of the EU being functional rather than dysfunctional. It goes against the Russian anti-EU propaganda.
Actually the headlessness what we've seen in the last month and the debates around the quota system clearly shown that the EU is dysfunctional with several rifts between west and east, south and north, UK and the rest of the EU, etc and the whole system is based on blackmailing and bullying smaller and poorer countries into submission by the big ones (mostly by Germany) and the EU bureaucrats. I don't know what sorts of news you used to read, but the authors must be high on something if they see this mess as functional and organized.
