The EU and Turkey are set for confrontation over a deal on refugees as European leaders hold out on Ankara’s key demands to speed up EU membership talks and provide visa-free travel for Turkish citizens by June.

The EU’s 28 leaders are meeting in Brussels on Thursday to prepare for a summit on Friday with the Turkish prime minister, Ahmet Davutoğlu. They aim to agree the final details of a plan to stop migrants and refugees coming to Europe.

Turkey has agreed to take back any refugees and migrants who land on the Greek islands, including Syrian asylum seekers. In exchange, Ankara has called on Brussels to restart its long-stalled EU membership talks and lift visa restrictions for Turks travelling in the EU’s 26-country Schengen zone by the end of June. Davutoğlu is also seeking an extra €3bn (£2.3bn) to help refugees in Turkey, in addition to €3bn pledged last year.
