Twenty Austrian policemen will help protecting the Hungarian-Serbian border as a first step for cooperation.
The best method for protecting the Hungarian-Austrian border would be if the two countries jointly protected the Hungarian-Serbian border, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán stated after his meeting with Austrian Chancellor Christian Kern in Budapest. Hungary will make every effort during the period ahead to be the best possible neighbour and partner of Austria, he emphasised according to Kormány.hu portal.
Mr Orbán said at his press conference held jointly with the Austrian Chancellor that the first step has been taken towards the protection of the Hungarian-Serbian border by virtue of the fact that Austria is sending twenty people to protect the border. He stressed that Hungary takes back every migrant who first entered the EU in Hungary at the Austrian-Hungarian border in accordance with the international agreements, and immediately moves them on to where they came from. He also pointed out that Hungary has „hermetically” sealed the Hungarian-Serbian border, and no one is allowed to stay in the territory of the country illegally as the Penal Code does not permit this.
In answer to a question regarding his support for Republican US presidential candidate Donald Trump, Mr Orbán said: „the Democrats’ foreign policy is bad for Europe, and fatal for Hungary. By contrast, the migration and foreign policy endorsed by the Republicans and presidential candidate Donald Trump is good for Europe, and is a lifeline for Hungary”.
