Austrian police contingent to grow in Hungary
The number of Austrian police officers is being raised to more effectively fight illegal migration, people smuggling and other cross-border crimes, the police said on its official website on Monday.
Under an agreement signed by the two countries interior ministers in 2020, Austrian policemen have been helping protect the European Union’s external borders in Hungary and curb illegal migration, and people smuggling, police.hu said.
On Monday, seven police officers joined the 18 already serving in Hungary, and their number is planned to reach 48-50 by the end of the month to conduct joint patrols with Hungarian colleagues, the statement said.
