According to the Swedish Migration Agency, the first refugees can come to the accommodation this weekend.
The municipal director tells SVT that it is with mixed feelings that the municipality received the information.
- It is positive that we can set up and receive people who need it.
At the same time, we have experience from 2015 when we received many refugees in the eastern part of the municipality, which meant great challenges, says Tord du Rietz, who is the municipal director for Eksjö municipality.
Eksjö municipality has expressed the wish to the Swedish Migration Board for an even distribution of refugee reception in the municipality.
According to Tord du Rietz, the Swedish Migration Agency must do what they can, but in the end it depends on how many refugees are expected to come.
