Sounds like a good plan for Austria and Germany to buffer refugees coming through the balkan routes. If I remember correctly, the Dublin regulation states that the EU country that will be responsible for the asylum will be the first one reached by the refugees...

Not really first one reached, but first one where fingerprints were documented or an asylum claim was filed. This is why in the case of Syria for example, relatively many Syrian refugees are the responsibility of northern European countries like Sweden, Germany and the Netherlands.

But that's was because of the division rules created later by Germany, as some countries just started to forward the refugees to Germans borders, right? The default was the country where the refugees land is where the fingerprints were collected

This is about the currency. Croatia joined the EU a decade ago.

schengen area too...

Of course, my mistake.
