V4: โIt is crucial to create a European-level migration and refugee systemโ
Change language:
The defence and law enforcement committees of the parliaments of the Visegrรกd Group have expressed support for an undivided NATO and European Union, Lajos Kรณsa, the head of the Hungarian committee, said after a meeting of his V4 counterparts in Debrecen, in eastern Hungary, on Friday.
The closed-door meeting, also attended by Slovenia, as an observer, focused on strategic and long-term cooperation issues as well as topical subjects such as the situation in Ukraine, Kรณsa told a press conference.
The participants issued a joint statement concerning the draft migration and refugee pact of the EU, as well as on defence cooperation between the Visegrรกd countries.
In their statements, the committee heads warned that a further increase in tension around Ukraine could trigger a wave of mass migration and create a situation similar to the Belarusian migration crisis and called for a complex approach.
No migrant should be admitted to the EU until such time as all illegal migrants are dealt with.
