Hungary and Serbia will simplify border crossing for persons respecting regulations but they will continue to act together against those that intend to cross the border illegally, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said, writes hungarytoday.hu
The minister told a joint press conference with Serbian counterpart Nikola Selakovic that the two countries were fighting together against migration, all the more so because the Western Balkan route is getting full again.
With the European Union being under migratory pressure from three directions, some two hundred Hungarian police officers have been participating in the protection of Serbia’s southern border this year to stop the wave of migrants as far away as possible.
A new border crossing will be permanently opened at Kübekháza next year, to simplify transport between Hungary and Serbia, he said.
