BERLIN (Reuters) - Former German Chancellor Helmut Kohl says he does not believe Europe can absorb millions of refugees and has appealed for more cooperation to deal with the crisis ahead of a meeting with right-wing Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.

Kohl, the architect of Germany's reunification and a leading driver of European integration, will host Orban - who has built a razor wire fence on Hungary's border with Serbia and Croatia to keep out migrants - at his home in Ludwigshafen on Tuesday.
