Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Peter Szijjarto stated Thursday that there's no need for border control on the Austrian-Hungarian border, so the Austrian spot-check are unnecessary.

Due the Austrian spot-checks, drivers on the M1 motorway, Hungary's busiest one, has been experiencing traffic jams since last Sunday. The longest traffic occurred Tuesday when divers had to wait in a 24 km long traffic to cross the border.
