On Friday Prime Minister Viktor Orbán told public broadcaster Kossuth Rádió that the Hungarian-Serbian border must be reinforced, and therefore an additional fence will be constructed, equipped with the latest technology.
Mr. Orbán said that a “more substantial defence system” must be established to supplement the existing one, therefore the new fence – the technical plans for which are already being drafted –will be a “serious structure”, which will be designed to prevent the entry of hundreds of thousands of people. If Turkey’s policy changes, Hungary also has to be prepared for this, he stressed.
The Prime Minister also drew attention to a decision adopted earlier by the Government, according to which police personnel will be increased by three thousand.
He said that today not even birds can enter Hungary’s territory without screening. “The border cannot be protected with flowers and cuddly toys. The border can only be protected with fences and police and military personnel”, Mr. Orbán said.
