A first batch of migrants are set to return from Greece to Turkey on Monday under the terms of an EU readmission deal reached this month, according to Sky News.
"There is a major engagement on the part of Greece and Turkey towards sending 500 people back on April 4, barring a last-minute problem," a European Commission source said.
Those returning will be "Syrians who have not requested asylum, Afghans and Pakistanis", the source added, confirming that this is the first return set to take place under the EU-Turkey deal.
