Interior Minister announced the extension of the state of migration emergency.
Hungary extends the state of migration emergency to the whole country after Serbia, Slovenia and Croatia announced further measures to handle migrant influx. Interior Minister Sándor Pintér said the measures announced Wednesday are needed because of uncertainty about where the people stranded across the Balkans will try to go and how they will react.
Hungary declared a state of emergency last year in several counties directly affected by the migrant flow and built fences on its borders with Serbia and Croatia which have greatly reduced the number of migrants entering the country in their efforts to reach Germany and other destinations in Western Europe.
