KOCSIS URGES SETTING UP INDEPENDENT BORDER CONTROL FORCE

 

It is high time Hungary set up an independent force to control its borders, the group leader of ruling Fidesz said on Saturday, in connection with an armed clash between migrant groups in Serbia earlier in the day. Máté Kocsis said that the conflict, outside Subotica (Szabadka) had claimed lives. Kocsis noted that over 100,000 migrants had attempted to cross into Hungary illegally since the beginning of this year, and said that the police and soldiers currently controlling the border would also be needed at the Ukraine-Hungary border.
