Greece Hungary refugees from Ukraine Slovenia war in Ukraine

The Hungarian, Greek and Slovenian ombdsmen on Thursday visited the Ukrainian-Hungarian border and were briefed of the current circumstances and the measures taken to help Ukrainian refugees, the Hungarian ombudsman’s office said.

Ákos Kozma of Hungary, Andreas Pottakis of Greece and Peter Svetina of Slovenia visited the border crossing at Záhony-Cap (Csap) and an aid point in Beregsurány where Kozma also inaugurated a temporary office of the Office of the Commissioner for Fundamental Rights in Hungary, the statement said.

Kozma said office employees had been working on the border since the Ukraine-Russia war broke out three weeks ago.

They provide legal aid and help in procuring documents to refugees arriving through Záhony,
