Budapest, March 9 (MTI) – Hungary’s foreign minister, Péter Szijjártó, has welcomed direct action by Slovenia and Serbia to tighten up defence of their borders.

The minister said in a statement late on Tuesday that Slovenia was again tightening up its measures against illegal migrants from midnight, allowing in only migrants with valid passports and visas, or those making asylum requests.

Serbia, in the meantime, has announced that it is introducing similar restrictions as apply on the Macedonian and Bulgarian borders.
