As part of its EU presidency, Hungary has put forward several proposals on resolving the issue of migration, which the EU has not tackled successfully since 2015, the prime minister’s chief security advisor told public broadcaster M1 on Saturday evening.
Hungary advocates introducing an EU-wide system for asylum applications to be submitted outside the bloc, and it also champions tight controls of the external borders, György Bakondi said.
He noted increasing pressure posed by migration along three main routes: most migrants trek from Arica to the Canary Islands, while along the second most dangerous route, many Muslims are transported to the shores of Italy on small boats from the Sahara region, he said.
At the same time, the Balkan route has seen a big uptick in migration, though the Hungarian border is now under less pressure thanks to cooperation between Serbian and Hungarian police, which started last October. Afghan people smuggling rings have been forced out of the region, relocating to the Bosnian-Croatian border, he said.
Bakondi hailed Italian efforts to help the governments of Tunisia, Libya and Algeria, providing incentives aimed at preventing migration from their shores.

The EU will not agree to any good solution. The Europeans enjoy being robbed, arson, stabbing and rape of girls and women.
Most EU countries signed the Dublin agreement. Globalist will never agree keeping migrants out and they are the ones pulling the string of the majority of EUP members’ strings.
Any system as suggested by Hungary set up for processing asylum applications outside the bloc will have zero effect on attempts by migrants to enter the EU by sea or by land. It’s a complete fantasy. As far as tight border controls are concerned Finland has done that by completely closing its’ border with Russia because Russia has been actively funneling refugees to bordering EU countries as part of its’ hybrid warfare against Europe as it seeks to destabilize the EU. The Hungarian government needs to tell its’ Russian ally to cease and desist.
The EU will only have to transport a few boatful of illegal migrants back. Talking is just a waste of time. Enforce the Dublin Regulations.
Hungary should not tell Russia or any other sovereign country what to do. Every country’s government should make their own decisions. The same applies to Brussels, stay out of Hungary’s internal affairs.
