Hungary, Serbia coordinate actions against illegal migration

Budapest, February 19 (MTI) – Interior ministers Sándor Pintér of Hungary and Nebojsa Stefanovic of Serbia discussed joint measures to stem illegal migration at Roszke, near the Serbian border, on Friday.

Illegal migration will remain a challenge, Pinter told a joint press conference. The Austrian government’s recent announcement on capping the number of migrants received per day will make things more difficult for Hungary and Serbia.

“We must be ready to protect our borders,” he said.

Stefanovic said the two countries will cooperate on filtering new arrivals. They will decide on whom to let into Europe and whom to declare as economic migrants.
