Hungary’s position that border protection is crucial for Europe’s security is being endorsed in more and more countries, Interior Minister Sándor Pintér said on Thursday after a meeting of European Union ministers of the interior and justice.

Illegal migration and protection of the Schengen borders are closely linked issues and “the idea is spreading within the EU that there is no point in talking about Schengen without protecting the external borders,” Pintér said.

The interior ministers at the Bucharest meeting agreed to raise the staff of EU border protection agency Frontex from the current 400 to 10,000 by the year 2027, he told Hungary‘s public media. In the first phase, a “robust” unit of 3,000 people will be on reserve in order to be able to assist member countries protect the external borders of the EU in case they need help, he added.

“This is an opportunity to protect Europe’s external borders and we support it (reinforcing Frontex),” Pintér said.

Frontex, however, “must not harm the sovereignty of member states and must not arbitrarily take over border protection services” from any country, he added.
