BERLIN — The fragile alliance that has kept the surge of migrants moving through the Balkans and toward Germany showed more signs of unraveling on Wednesday, while within Germany pressure grew to stem the flow into its overburdened southern state of Bavaria.
Austria, which has been a steady partner to Germany in filtering and moving asylum seekers from the Middle East and elsewhere along the route, announced that it would impose border controls by building a fence along its border withSlovenia.
Slovenia responded by repeating its threat to build its own fence on at least part of its frontier with Croatia.
Such a move by Slovenia, which has become a crucial country along the so-called Western Balkans trail, could put migrants in peril, backing them up at borders along the route just as the weather is about to turn cold.
