Hungary to strengthen eastern border crossings – UPDATED
Change language:
With an expected increase in the influx of refugees from Ukraine next week, Hungary must strengthen its border crossing point with Romania at Csengersima, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said on Facebook on Wednesday night.
The prime minister is staying on the Hungary-Ukraine border for three days to organise preparations for a new wave of refugees. Hungary will deploy more personnel to the Csengersima border crossing, Orbán said, noting that already thousands of Ukrainian refugees were arriving there via Romania daily.
Cross-border traffic at Csengersima is running smoothly, with
police “making strenuous efforts” and the Hungarian Red Cross providing help to those with children,
Orbán said. If the border crossing is strengthened “we will be able to work just as efficiently next week”, he added.
