Fielding a question, Kiss said guest workers in the farm sector had been allowed entry into Hungary since May 7, and Romanian nationals had taken advantage of that opportunity in groups at all border crossings.

By midnight on Saturday, 601 such guest workers had entered Hungary in 109 groups, he added.
