Denmark is unlikely to follow Sweden's lead and offer Syrian refugees permanent residence.
Earlier this year, Sweden decided to automatically give all Syrian refugees three years of residency, but the worsening situation in Syria led Swedish officials this week to make the refugees' residency permanent.

"According to international law they should be granted permanent residence and that is what we have chosen to give them."
