European leaders are at loggerheads over the issue of migration, bringing an EU summit one step closer to ending without an agreement.
They are meeting in Brussels on Thursday and Friday for a summit that was supposed to focus on Brexit.
Italy has threatened to veto a summit agreement if the bloc didn't meet Rome's demands for more help managing arrivals to its shores.
Italy is the entry point to mainly African migrants and wants other countries to share the burden of arrivals.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said the migration issue could be a "make or break" issue for the EU.
Her interior minister, Horst Seehofer, has said Germany would turn away asylum seekers already registered in another EU country if she didn't come up with a solution by July 1st.
Merkel needs his party's support in order to maintain parliamentary majority back at home.
EU Leaders are discussing the crisis behind closed doors over dinner.
