B. Orban: EU must defend the borders of Greece
The Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said today that it would take its final decision to close its border with Croatia, after talks will have today with their European counterparts in Brussels.
Hungary has already sealed its borders with Serbia and if you decided to completely stop accepting refugees on its territory-even those who just want to go to go to other countries, mainly in Germany, then the immigration flow can be moved to Slovenia.
According to public television of Hungary, the Orban told reporters, who comes to the Brussels summit that the European Union would prefer to defend its borders on Greece, which have reached hundreds of thousands of immigrants from the Middle East since the beginning of the year . If this fails, Budapest is ready to fence with Croatia and its borders could "be closed within one hour if needed," he continued.
"We need to tackle the problem at its source, which means that we have to go south to defend the Greek border. This has not yet been hope that today we can agree to have sealed the Greek border, "he added, explaining that Hungary is" willing "to participate in this.
"Of course we can extend the rules of the Schengen border with Croatia, as we did with the border with Serbia, but this is the second best solution. The best solution would be for Greece to honor its contractual obligations and, if not, we can do this, "he said.
The Hungarian Prime Minister said he would hold talks with the Visegrad Group (Poland, Slovakia, Czech Republic) and will again raise the issue at tonight summit.
"Hungary is fully prepared to apply the Schengen protocols to allow entry into the country in a controlled manner. We can do it within an hour if needed, "he concluded.
