Hungary focuses on border protection but for the EU registration is still a priority according to the Hungarian PM's chief adviser.
“We see no reason that would result in a reduction in migration pressure in the near future”, György Bakondi ,Chief Security Adviser to the Prime Minister told a press conference in Budapest. The priority for the EU “is not protection, but the registration and interviewing of people who arrive, and participation in their redirection if a decision is made”, just as the planned number of ships will also only be capable of rescuing people who arrive by sea”, he explained.
The Hungarian Government’s standpoint continues to be that the external borders of the European Union must be protected, EU regulations must be enforced and “we must put a stop to the state of affairs that has led to millions of people of unknown identity having crossed the border and entered the territory of the European Union without any kind of control”, Mr Bakondi explained.
